Had a barium swallow. report says questionable contour abnormality of distal esophagus & mucousal irregularity of gastric fundus. possible causes?

I have : always found it best to interpret imaging or laboratory results with clinical information which is lacking in this case. It would be best to contact the ordering provider.

Difficult: to say without more specific information, but in general, a contour abnormality would imply something pressing on the esophagus from the outside. Mucosal irregularity usually implies inflammation(gastritis) but neoplasm is also a consideration. Talk to your doc about the results, you may need an endoscopy.
