Bile reflux esophagitis has been reported and discussed in the literature for many years. What makes our case unusual are the gross and microscopic photos of bile in the esophageal mucosa. The pertinent literature is discussed especially the deleterious and oncogenic effects of bile in the esophageal mucosa.
