Esophageal polyps

Esophageal polyps rank second in benign esophageal tumors, and their incidence is second only to esophageal leiomyoma. Because the tumor of esophageal polyps is composed of varying amounts of fibrous vascular tissue, adipose tissue, and stroma from the esophageal mucosa and submucosa, the surface is covered with normal esophageal mucosa, which is easy to secondary ulcers and bleeding. For loose fibrous tissue or dense collagen fibrous tissue, it is also called fibrohemangioma, fibrolipoma, myxofibroma, or pedicled lipoma. Bematz et al. Believe that it is more appropriate to name esophageal polyps as "fibrolipoma". However, it is still used clinically as esophageal polyps.
