Abstract
in English, Portuguese

We present two cases of esophageal papillomatosis, a very rare reported disease leading to dysphagia and did not improve after endoscopic treatment. Both patients refused surgery and they were followed-up for 3 years, but no significant clinical or endoscopic changes were seen.

Apresentamos dois casos de papilomatose esofágica, lesão raramente relatada, que pode levar à disfagia, e que não teve melhora após tratamento endoscópico. Ambos os pacientes recusaram cirurgia e foram acompanhados por até 3 anos, sem alterações clínicas ou endoscópicas importantes.
