AB  - Barrett  esophagus  (BE)  is  a  disease  entity  characterized  by  the  gradual  replacement  of  stratified  squamous  epithelium  of  the  distal  esophagus  with  metaplastic  columnar  epithelium.  This  transformation  of  the  distal  esophagus  occurs  in  response  to  chronic  exposure  of  the  esophageal  lining  to  gastric  contents,  as  seen  in  gastroesophageal  reflux  disease  (GERD).  BE  is  diagnosed  with  high-resolution  endoscopy  and  confirmed  with  biopsy  and  subsequent  histologic  examination  of  suspected  tissue.
