“…20,21 Per literature review, there are only 5 cases of esophageal papillomas associated with Goltz syndrome. 12,22–25 Similar to our patient, all previously reported cases had a degree of dysphagia requiring endoscopic therapy. However, all cases had squamous papillomas without dysplasia, in contrast to our patient who was found to have ESCC.…”

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the predominant type of esophageal carcinoma worldwide. It occurs mostly in the upper and middle thirds of the esophagus. We present the case of a young African American woman with Goltz syndrome who presented with dysphagia and weight loss and was found to have distal esophageal papillomatosis and squamous cell carcinoma. This occurrence of ESCC in an atypical location in a young woman without traditional risk factors is suggestive of malignant transformation of underlying papillomatosis. Goltz syndrome is a rare disorder, occasionally associated with esophageal papillomatosis. Although esophageal papillomatosis is considered to be benign, our case shows that it could have malignant potential and hence is likely worthy of surveillance.

We report a rare case of multiple esophageal squamous papillomas (ESPs). A 42-year-old man underwent a medical examination, and abnormalities of multiple elevated lesions were noted using a esophagogastroduodenoscope. He underwent upper gastrointestinal tract radiography with an orally ingested barium sulfate and gastrointestinal endoscopy, which revealed multiple elevated lesions in the esophagus, predominantly on the distal esophagus. We performed an endoscopic esophageal mucosal resection using a cap-fitted esophagogastroduodenoscope to obtain sufficient specimens. Based on the pathological findings, we diagnosed multiple ESPs. Although single ESPs or a few ESPs in a patient are often encountered, multiple ESP cases are rare.
