Abstract
The case of a 77-year old white male on anticoagulant therapy who developed sudden onset of gastrointestinal bleeding is presented. A benign esophageal papilloma was a fortuitous finding. The papilloma was removed in toto by fiberoptic endoscopic polypectomy. A brief review of this rare lesion is presented and the importance of a careful endoscopic examination as well as the therapeutic/curative potentialities of the procedure are stressed.
