Heigh yield summary of benign lesions of esophagus for MBBS students
Benign lesions of the esophagus are non-cancerous growths or abnormalities that do not invade surrounding tissues or metastasize. Common examples include esophageal polyps, leiomyomas (the most common benign tumor), cysts, and papillomas. They may cause dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), chest discomfort, regurgitation, or may be discovered incidentally during endoscopy. Diagnosis is usually made by endoscopy and imaging studies, and treatment depends on the size, symptoms, and type of lesion.
