Summary:Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an immunologic disorder of the esophagus with an increasing incidence in our region of 8.1 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per year. It is characterized by dysphagia, and its diagnosis requires esophagoscopy with biopsies for histopathological analysis, which macroscopically reveals certain characteristic endoscopic findings, though their diagnostic utility remains uncertain. The correlation between these endoscopic findings and the histopathological diagnosis of EoE continues to be a subject of controversy in the pediatric population. This study evaluates the clinical-pathological association of different endoscopic abnormalities in EoE. We conducted an analytical study of patients under 15 years old who underwent esophagoscopy due to highly suspicious symptoms of EoE at a pediatric hospital between 2015 and 2022.
