Out of 5000 consecutive double-contrast examinations of the esophagus, 50 cases presented a diffuse finely granular or nodular appearance of the mucosa. Endoscopy was subsequently performed in 38 cases and biopsy in the majority of these. In 23 of the 38 verified cases the diagnosis was reflux esophagitis. In the other 15 cases the diagnoses were: candidal esophagitis (4), leukoplakia (2), glycogenic acanthosis (1), and diffuse leiomyomatosis (1). A normal mucosa was demonstrated in 7 cases. Our study indicates that a radiologically granular or nodular appearance of the esophageal mucosa often indicates reflux esophagitis and less commonly identifies diffuse lesions of variable origin.
