    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Radiology
    • Esophageal pathology and diagnostics

    Background:

    • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common condition.
    • Inflammatory polyps at the gastroesophageal junction are exceptionally rare findings.
    • Radiographic appearances of such polyps are not widely documented.

    Observation:

    • A case study involving a patient with minor hematemesis episodes.
    • The patient presented with an inflammatory polyp at the gastroesophageal junction.
    • The polyp's characteristic appearance on X-ray was noted.

    Findings:

    • Successfully identified and described a rare inflammatory polyp at the gastroesophageal junction.
    • Documented the X-ray characteristics of this rare esophageal finding.
    • Correlated the polyp with gastroesophageal reflux as the underlying cause.

    Implications:

    • Enhances understanding of rare GERD complications.
    • Provides valuable diagnostic imaging information for radiologists and gastroenterologists.
    • Suggests considering inflammatory polyps in the differential diagnosis for hematemesis in reflux patients.
