[Esophageal squamous papilloma: a case report and review of the literature].
We report a case of an esophagic squamous papilloma (SP) in a 90 year old patient. This pathology is benign and its diagnosis is generally a finding during an upper digestive endoscopy. Only 150 cases have been reported in the world's medical literature. Treatment consists in an endoscopic resection with diathermic snare or a conservative approach with periodical endoscopic control and observation depending of the type of patient.
