A member asked:

What does superficial strips of benign squamous mucosa mean from an esophagus biopsy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the result you provided does not show any abnormality. Wish you good health!
