ABSTRACT
A casts of Barrett's esophagus complicated with stricture is reported. A 82 years old male was undergone distal esophagectomy and esophagogastrostomy on suspicion of malignancy. The microscopic examination of specimen taken from the lesion revealed the "tall columnar cells" which were indicative of Barrett's esophagus, hence the diagnosis. Barrett's esophagus is a rare disease in Korea. Because of the malignant potential of the disease, surgery involving esophagectomy is often required.
