Benign neoplasm: oesophagus - what does this mean

Benign neoplasms of the oesophagus are usually caused by long-term irritation of the oesophageal lining, such as from acid reflux, or by an increase in the number of cells due to inflammation or infection. these neoplasms are usually slow-growing and do not spread to other parts of the body, but can cause difficulty in swallowing if they grow large enough.

What happens during the disease - benign neoplasm: oesophagus

Benign neoplasms of the oesophagus are caused by the abnormal growth of cells in the oesophageal wall. this growth is usually due to genetic mutations or exposure to environmental factors that lead to the uncontrolled division of cells in the oesophagus. these cells can form a mass or a tumor, which can cause a narrowing of the oesophageal lumen, leading to difficulty swallowing.
