An irregular Z-line was defined as any discrete tongue or exaggerated waviness of the Z-line which extended proximally less than 1 cm. Two to 4 biopsies were obtained with standard forceps; biopsies were taken in 4 quadrants every 2 cms for segments >3 cms.

An irregular Z line is characterized by < 1 cm columnar tongues that extend proximal to the gastroesophageal junction, a finding that has been reported in approximately 10–15% of the population undergoing upper endoscopy [1, 2].
