Esophageal squamous papilloma

چکیده
Esophageal squamous papilloma is an uncommon benign squamous epithelial polypoid tumor and is usually identified as a solitary lesion of the lower esophagus. Chronic mucosal irritation and infection with human papilloma virus (HPV) are two proposed etiologies. However, the natural history of esophageal squamous papilloma is unknown, and whether it can develop to esophageal cancer is controversial. A forty-seven year old man was referred to our hospital with complaints of dysphagia. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a small polypoid lesion in the area of the esophagogastric junction. The polypoid lesion was removed (see picture) and histologic result was compatible with esophageal squamous papilloma.
