Abstract Text The inlet patch is a congenital anomaly with a prevalence of up to 1% [1]. Most inlet patches are asymptomatic but occasionally may cause dysphagia or globus sensation [2]. They are usually ignored by most endoscopists, but the finding of low-grade dysplasia in our case highlights the importance of close examination and consideration for endoscopic intervention when there are abnormal features. Our case demonstrates the successful resolution of symptoms following removal of the inlet patch by multi-band mucosectomy.
