We present endoscopic images of two different patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The first image (Figure 1A) comes from a 45-year-old female with a history of epigastric pain, responsive to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), and no significant medical history. The second image (Figure 1B) shows the oesophagus of a 63-year-old male with regular alcohol consumption and experiencing heartburn. Both patients were treated with pantoprazole 20 mg daily. The endoscopic findings were unremarkable, except for the oesophageal lesions shown here.
