Abstract
A seaman aged 30 years complained of dysphagia after a long history of heartburn aggravated by lying down. He proved to have hiatus hernia and an esophageal stricture. The esophagus was lined with intestinal epithelium at the stricture and with gastric epithelium of fundal type below it. The nature of this abnormality is discussed.Keywords
