%X the benign tumors of the esophagus are rare, being only the 0,5-0,8 % of all the esophageal tumors. around the 60 % of the benign esophageal tumors are leiomyomas, 20 % are cists and 5 % are polyps. the rest of the lesions occur with a frequency less than 2 % being curiosities, and among them there is the papilloma. the papilloma are benign, fibrous and sessile tumors covered by a squamous epithelium produced by the human papilloma virus (hpv), having the capacity of producing proliferative lesions in the skin and/or mucosa. in the digestive tract they are more frequently located to the proximal (mouth) and distal (rectum) endings. in the case we present, it is a distal esophageal location in a male patient aged 49, with symptoms suggesting a disease by gastro-esophageal reflux and/or disturbances of the esophageal motility, arriving to the diagnosis by endoscopy and biopsy: elevated esophageal lesions and the presence of koilocytes. we indicated a treatment with recombinant alpha 2 interferon, being pending the post-treatment endoscopic and histological evolution.
