Abstract
Esophageal squamous papilloma (ESP) is a rare entity observed in pediatric and adult patients [1]. Few case reports showed an association with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or human papilloma virus infections [2-4]. We report a case of ESP in a 13 year old female patient with abdominal pain.
