Benign tumors of the esophagus are few. Even among these tumors, suquamous cell of the esophagus of the esophagus is rare. With the recent progress in the diagnostic technology of the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, the number of case reports about such tumors is gradually increasing, these cases are of clinical interest to understand the problems related to these diseases such as the etiologic factors and malignant change. In this report, meticulous endoscopic examination was carried out for the patient.
This patient was a 60-year-old male. Barium meal examination showed a projecting lesion in the upper part of the esophagus. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a mulberry-like tumor in the same location, with a longitudinal diameter of 10mm. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was carried out, and the lesion was diagnosed as squamous cell papilloma of the esophagus. A qualitative diagnosis of squamous cell papilloma of the esophagus can be made by through endoscopic observation on the basis of its characteristic morphological features. EMR is believed to be useful in the diagnosis and treatment of this tumor.
