Oesophageal squamous papilloma in paediatric population: a single-centre case series.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Oesophageal squamous papilloma (OSP) is a rare epithelial lesion with an unclear aetiology, found incidentally in upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGE). We evaluate the epidemiology, general features and endoscopic and histological characteristics of OSP in children in a single centre.

Methods
