Esophagogastroduodenoscopy may be done in patients with suspected Plummer-Vinson syndrome (PVS).

- The anterior esophageal wall is the most common location for an esophageal web associated with Plummer-Vinson syndrome.
- An esophageal web may appear as a thin elevated mucosal membrane covered by normal squamous epithelium.
- An esophagogastroduodenoscopy may help in identifying an inlet patch (hypertrophic gastric inlet patch).
- Esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy can also be used to determine the exact histology associated with esophageal web
