“…Any visible segment of gastric-type mucosa interposed between squamous mucosa and gastric-type mucosa is CLE and is recommended for biopsy sampling to exclude the presence of IM (Barrett esophagus) [16,18,19]. Histology categorizes the above types of CLE [1,3,5,[7][8], but it is not clear if these gastric-type epithelia belong to the stomach or to the esophagus (gastric vs. esophageal disease?). The answer is obtained from anatomy [1,3,7,20]: normally the esophagus contains submucosal glands and is lined by squamous epithelium [7,20], whereas the stomach is devoid of submucosal glands and is lined by oxyntic mucosa in its proximal part and covered by antral mucosa distally [1,3,7,20].…”
