Özet

Esophageal squamous papilloma (ESP) is a rare benign tumor. ESP is generally detected incidentally during esophagogastroduodenoscopy, which is usually performed to investigate dyspepsia. We present three cases of this rare endoscopic finding. While two of our patients were asymptomatic, one had dysphagia, and the lesions were excised. Endoscopists should be able to make the differential diagnosis of papilloma detected in the esophagus and have knowledge about these lesions as they may carry malignant potential. Excision of papillomas is recommended for definitive diagnosis and treatment.
