Core Tip	Subsquamous intestinal metaplasia (SSIM) is the term used to describe glandular Barrett’s tissue which is buried beneath overlying squamous mucosa and not visible endoscopically. Esophageal forceps which fail to contain lamina propria are of insufficient depth to assess for the presence of SSIM. This study of patients with Barrett’s esophagus (BE) undergoing endoscopic mucosal resection, previously na?ve to endoscopic therapy, detected SSIM in 59% of patients. These findings demonstrate that SSIM is a common occurrence in the natural history of BE, and should limit concerns that SSIM is purely a post-ablation phenonomenon.
