description | The association of eosinophilic esophagitis and esophageal polyps has been reported in the literature but remains a rare finding in both adults and children. The patient in this case report presented with progressively worsening dysphagia secondary to eosinophilic esophagitis and an esophageal polyp. Dysphagia is always abnormal, and endoscopic evaluation is essential. Dysphagia is a well-known symptom in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis. While esophageal polyps as a whole are less common in the pediatric population, they should not be overlooked as a possible cause of dysphagia and esophageal obstruction. |
