Question
Hello doctor,
I performed an endoscopic intervention, did a chlorine test to diagnose H.Pylori infection with the following results:
Esophageal: 25cm away from CRT, there is a raised 6mm size, rough surface. Stomach: Clear fluid, congested gastric mucosa, edema, scattered superficial erosion. Conclusion: Gastric mucosal inflammation, HP positive, follow up esophageal papilloma. Recommend blood test, endoscopic papillomaectomy. So the doctor asked me if esophageal papillomatosis is dangerous? Is your disease a benign tumor? Do I need to remove the papilloma as well or can I take it slow because I'm in a stressful situation so I haven't been to the doctor yet? The doctor gave me medicine for 1 month to treat my stomach, I took it all and didn't feel any more stomach pain, but I haven't checked it yet. Please advise, thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Is esophageal papillomatosis dangerous? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Esophageal papilloma is a benign, rare, slow-growing epithelial tumor, histopathologically, the lesion is characterized by leaf-shaped papilloma due to an increase in the number of squamous cells of the plant. manage. Although uncertain, it may be related to the HPV virus (a virus that has been shown to be linked to cancers of the larynx and cervix).
With a size of about 6mm, it should not cause any problems for you, but you should get it removed early to prevent complications later and go to an obstetrician-gynecologist.
You have just finished treatment to kill H.Pylori, you need to check to see if it is over and then cut the papilloma. But it is not necessary to go immediately, in this epidemic situation, you should limit invasive procedures as much as possible.
If you still have questions about esophageal papillomatosis, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
