  • Title: Gastroesophageal polyp diagnosed in an adolescent presenting with epigastric pain.
    Author: Stafford EM, Imai WK.
    Journal: J Adolesc Health Care; 1987 Sep; 8(5):441-4. PubMed ID: 3667399.
    Abstract:
    A gastroesophageal polyp is a rare finding. The case of an adolescent male presenting with epigastric pain and such a polyp is described. These polyps are usually described in the clinical setting of gastroesophageal reflux and esophagitis. Polyps can be identified radiographically as a characteristic filling defect at the gastroesophageal junction. Endoscopy should be used to confirm the diagnosis. Polypectomy is recommended when malignancy is suspected or where there is evidence suggesting that the polyp is causing symptoms.
