“…The minimum duration of anti-secretory therapy for polyp regression has also not been established. Endoscopic snare polypectomy may be required in those that are symptomatic [23,24]. Endoscopic mucosal resection is recommended in cases that are associated with Barrett's esophagus [4].…”

Background: Hyperplastic polyps of the esophagus are rare lesions that are often associated with reflux esophagitis and hiatal hernia. They are frequently asymptomatic and discovered incidentally at endoscopy or radioimaging. Case Report: We present a 25-year-old female who had multiple nodules of the lower esophagus at endoscopy. Her major complaints were recurrent heartburn, regurgitation and epigastric pain. Sections of the biopsied esophageal nodules showed features that were consistent with hyperplastic polyp of the esophagus. Conclusion: Though the report of esophageal hyperplastic polyp from Nigeria is scarce in the literature, the rate of detection and reporting is likely to increase as gastrointestinal endoscopy services become more available and accessible in the country.

“…When reflux gastroesophageal polyps are accompanied with pseudomalignant erosion, biopsy specimens obtained from the polyps confound the pathologist in reaching a correct histological diagnosis, particularly in cases with striking atypia. Even though benign in nature, these polyps can rapidly grow in size and are mostly resected through endoscopy due to the suspicion of malignancy [ 2 , 3 ].…”

Pseudomalignant erosion is a diagnostic pitfall for pathologists in the differential diagnosis of malignant neoplasms. Here, we present a challenging case of a biopsy specimen from the eroded head of a polyp at the esophagogastric junction. A malignant neoplasm could not be ruled out due to the presence of bizarre stromal cells. A second biopsy performed after the administration of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) for 4 weeks revealed endoscopic resolution of the polyp along with the complete histological resolution of the bizarre stromal cells and led to the diagnosis of pseudomalignant erosion in a reflux gastroesophageal polyp. In conclusion, histological and endoscopic response to PPI therapy is an important clue for the correct diagnosis of reflux gastroesophageal polyps with pseudomalignant erosion.
