CREST Syndrome With Barrett’s Esophagus:

Report of A Case

Abstract

A 36-year-old women is reported who suffered from CREST syndrome with Barrett’s esophagus. The patient had a disorder comprising of calcinosis manifestations, Raynaud’s phenomenon, esophageal dysfunction, sclerodactyly and teleangiectagia. In addition, the patient had Barrett’s esophagus, which is defined as a replacement of the normal stratified squamous epithelium of the esophagus by a columnar epithelium. Recently we have begun to regard Barrett’s esophagus as a premalignant condition, and therefore the patient underwent operation and had a smooth postoperative course.
