4. Figure 3
Schematic drawing of variations in SSIM extent (see text); different extents of Barrett's epithelium underneath squamous epithelium (SSIM) are shown; measurement along the green line does not show any SSIM, while maximum extent of SSIM is depicted by the blue line. C, visible circular BE length; M, total extension of visible BE tongues.

Histologic slides of SSIM. (A) The oral extension of BE glands (red arrow) underneath the SQE of the esophagus measures more than 3 mm; H&E 100x. (B) Another case also showing BE extension (red arrow); Alcian blue staining, 200x. (C) Subsquamous extension of a highly differentiated intramucosal Barrett's adenocarcinoma (red arrow); H&E 200x.
