Abstract Three case reports are presented which illustrate clinical conditions which may arise in a patient with a columnar lined esophagus. Inflammation, ulceration, stricture and fistula formation are discussed, with emphasis on their clinical presentations and diagnoses by endoscopy and radiology. Of the 3 patients, 2 developed adenocarcinoma as a complication of the lesion. The possible malignant potentiality of this anomaly is stressed, and diligent search for a neoplastic focus in all such cases is urged.
