Barrett’s esophagus (BE), consequence of chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is a pre-malignant condition, capable of turning into adenocarcinoma (ACa). However the presence of squamous cell carcinoma (SCa) coexisting with Barrett’s metaplasia, is reported in some papers. The aim of this paper is to present 17 patients involving synchronous BE and SCa.
