title: Squamous papillomas of the esophagus.
abstract: Fifteen cases of squamous papilloma of the esophagus were found in 20,000 upper gastrointestinal endoscopies. Squamous papillomas are usually incidental findings; symptoms are related to associated esophageal or gastrointestinal lesions. Chronic irritation from gastric acid reflux may play an etiological role.
