Abstract
Background: Esophageal squamous papilloma (ESP) is a rare benign tumor of the esophagus, typically characterized by an exophytic and warty appearance, with a diameter of less than 5 mm. Endoscopic resection is considered the most effective treatment for these tumors.
Case summary: In this paper, we discussed the pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, and therapeutic options of ESP based on our experience with a case presenting a depressed appearance and treated with interferon-alpha 2a (IFNα2a) injection.
Conclusion: This paper reports the first successful clinical case of using the human IFNα2a for the treatment of ESP with a depressed endoscopic appearance. However, the efficacy of interferon treatment requires to validation in a large number of subsequent cases.
期刊介绍：
The World Journal of Clinical Cases (WJCC) is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJCC is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of clinical cases. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJCC is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJCC are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in clinical cases.
