ObjectiveEsophageal white lesions (EWL) are commonly observed under upper endoscopy, while their clinical significance remains undetermined. The aim of this study was to identify the endoscopic characteristics of EWL and distinguish between different types of EWL.MethodsConsecutive patients with upper gastrointestinal complaints and participants admitted for health check‐up who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy from October 2018 to August 2019 in a tertiary hospital were prospectively screened. EWL were detected under endoscopy and biopsy was performed for histological analysis. Participants' characteristics, lifestyle, esophageal motility and reflux monitoring variables were analyzed.ResultsOf the 3641 consecutive participants screened, 303 of them aged 56.12 ± 10.95 years were found to have EWL (detection rate of 8.3%). More than one‐third of them preferred hot drinks, eating pickled or spicy food, smoking and alcohol consumption and 5.3% had current or former upper gastrointestinal or head and neck cancers. The common endoscopic appearance of the EWL (2.9 mm ± 1.2 mm in diameter) included slightly elevated plaque, translucent white in color, with a clear border, round or oval in shape, and a scaly, rough or smooth surface. Histology showed low‐grade intraepithelial dysplasia in 13 cases, leukoplakia in 10 and intestinal metaplasia in one. No significant differences were found between the histological findings and endoscopic manifestations of EWL.ConclusionsEWL are not uncommon in daily endoscopic examination, with some of them being precancerous lesions. Conventional white‐light endoscopy is insufficient to identify EWL, while histological assessment is important. Further studies using advanced endoscopic techniques with long‐term follow‐up are needed.
