Early in the episode, a doctor told her that she appeared to have inflammation of the esophagus, and noted that she could have esophagitis.

She admitted in a confessional, "So, Ive seen a couple of doctors, and its been heavy on my mind lately."

The doctor suggested taking a round of medicine, then coming in for a procedure so he could get a better look at what was wrong and then determine if they needed to take further action.

"I havent really told too many people about this just because I think its, you know, something that really hits home for me, and I just dont really want to go there with my dad having passed away from esophagus ," she admitted to the camera. "Hopefully I can just take medication, and this will go away, but I just dont know whats going to happen."

Robert Kardashian died of esophageal cancer in 2003.

"The doctor says my esophagus has these irregularities and I have to have them cut out," Kardashian said in the preview for next weeks show. "Thats the same thing my dad had."

The preview also showed the reality star in a hospital gown with a surgical cap and her mother, Kris Jenner, by her side.

Kardashian first went public with her diagnosis of esophagitis a month ago in the season eight trailer.

"I have something called esophagitis," she told a producer while getting her makeup done. "Didnt your father, isnt that what he died of?" the person asked. 

She confirmed that it was.
