Endoscopic removal of a large hyperplastic (inflammatory) polyp in esophagogastric anastomosis after esophagectomy

摘要

Hyperplastic (inflammatory) polyp (HP) is uncommon in the esophagus and esophagogastric junction. We report a case of HP arising in the esophagogastric anastomosis 2 years after esophagectomy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in a 64-year-old woman. The lesion was resected endoscopically. The histopathological diagnosis was HP. There has been no evidence of carcinoma or HP for more than 6 years after initial surgery. This is the first reported case of HP arising in an esophagogastric anastomosis after esophageal surgery that was successfully treated by endoscopic resection.
