| Popis: | Question: A 74-year-old white woman with a past medical history of dyslipidemia, irritable bowel syndrome, and gastroesophageal reflux disease presented with abdominal bloating and persistent cough. She had no history of heartburn, dysphagia, or odynophagia. An upper endoscopy was performed. On endoscopy, the esophageal mucosa appeared bulbous with a blue tint. The lesion was 6 cm in size between 18 and 24 cm from the incisors (Figure A, B). The rest of the examination was normal. As part of her evaluation, computed tomography of the neck, chest, and abdomen was performed (Figure C). What is this lesion? Look on page 1501 for the answer and see the GASTROENTEROLOGY web site (www.gastrojournal.org) for more information on submitting your favorite image to Clinical Challenges and Images in GI. |
