Granular mucosal pattern of the esophagus represents very fine nodularity of the esophageal mucosal surface. This finding is non-specific and may represent:
- reflux esophagitis (most common)
- Candida esophagitis
- glycogenic acanthosis
- Barrett esophagus
- superficial spreading esophageal carcinoma
- radiation changes to the esophagus
