Question
Hello doctor,
I was diagnosed with a 1mm esophageal papilloma and monitored for esophageal glycogen stasis. So the doctor asked me if esophageal stagnation of Glycogen is dangerous? Does the disease cause any complications? When you have esophageal papillomatosis due to an increase in the number of squamous cells or a genetic mutation, will your body have a higher risk of cancer later on, even if it is removed? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Is esophageal Glycogen stasis dangerous? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Glycogen stasis in the esophagus does not cause symptoms and complications. Esophageal papilloma is a benign, rare, slow-growing epithelial tumor, histopathologically the lesion is characterized by a leaf-shaped papilla due to an increase in the number of squamous cells of the esophagus. 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).
Your esophageal papilloma is very small, after it has been removed very rarely comes back and does not have an increased risk of cancer higher than other people.
If you still have questions about esophageal Glycogen stasis, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
