A member asked:

Fancy med talk: I just looked up in a medical dictionary: acanthosis means a thickening of a layer of the mucosa of the esophagus. This can be seen with chronic inflammation ( like with reflux disease). The word papillomatosis refers to papilla or projection of tissue sticking out. This can occur if there is chronic injury to the tissue and regeneration. Please ask your GI doctor to take the time to review this.

Biopsy results: This sounds like a pathologists description from a pathology report regarding a biopsy of the esophagus (tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach). Acanthosis and papillomatosis refer to a visual description of the tissue as seen under a microscope.
