Abstract

Esophageal biopsies are frequently performed during the diagnostic evaluation of children presenting with a variety of nonspecific symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, failure to thrive, and dysphagia. In contrast to adult gastroenterologists, pediatric gastroenterologists perform mucosal biopsies much more frequently during the course of endoscopic examination due to the poor correlation that exists between endoscopic and histologic findings in children (Biller et al. 1983).
