Abstract

Esophageal papillomatosis is a fairly rare illness that is thought to have a benign clinical course. Recent findings highlight the possibility of a malignancy emerging in connection with esophageal squamous papillomatosis. A case of esophageal papillomatosis is documented, which was worsened by the development of esophageal invasive squamous cell carcinoma following numerous nondiagnostic endoscopic biopsies. In addition, the patient developed squamous cell carcinoma in the oral cavity. Extensive esophageal papillomatosis and recurrent dysphagia symptoms should prompt an examination into an underlying malignancy.
