UNASSIGNED: We present the case of an esophageal papillomatosis that developed into an invasive esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that was only diagnosed in the surgical specimen after minimally invasive Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy and in this case report, we discuss its etiology, diagnosis and treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: Extensive papillomatosis with continuous symptoms, especially persistent dysphagia, should always prompt a thorough analysis into a possible underlying malignancy.
