Barrett's oesophagus is a metaplastic change of the lining of the oesophagus, such that the normal squamous epithelium is replaced by specialised or intestinalised columnar epithelium. The disorder seems to be a complication of chronic gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, although asymptomatic individuals might also be affected, and it is a risk factor for the development of oesophageal adenocarcinoma, a cancer with rapidly increasing incidence in developed societies.
