Barrett esophagus in sexagenarian identical twins

M D Gelfand. J Clin Gastroenterol. 1983 Jun.

Abstract

Identical twins presented as sexagenarians with heartburn, regurgitation, and dysphagia; each had a Barrett esophagus remarkably similar to the other. This instance suggests a hereditary influence upon the development of mucosal dysplasia in some patients with this condition.
