EGD was positive for a polyp/nodule at the z-line together with a 1 cm hiatus hernia and gastritis (Figure 1).
(a) Squamous and gastric mucosa with foamy histiocytes in the lamina propria (low and high power). (b) CD68 stain (low and high power) staining histiocytes brown in lamina propria. (c) A negative AE1/AE3 stain ruling out an epithelial lesion (carcinoma) as shown by staining the epithelium but the histiocytes in the lamina propria were negative. (d) A negative mucicarmine special stain ruling out signet ring cell carcinoma.
