The endoscopic examination showed an upper and middle esophagus with a diffuse circumferential, white, crackleware epithelium. Esophageal biopsies revealed acanthosis and papillomatosis with diffuse hyperkeratosis. High dose of Proton pump inhibitors was initiated with improvement of all symptoms 6 weeks later.
