Metaplasia is believed to be one of the pathological reason behind the development of<unk>  carcinoma. Although the definite relationship between metaplasia and dysplasia, is not clearly established yet. On gross pathology, fibrosis and thickening of  the<unk>  are characteristic findings of the<unk><unk> .
