A case of esophageal Papilloma is reported. The viral condyloma was diagnosed by standard histological methods and confirmed by immuno-fluorescence and immuno-peroxidase technics against genus specific Papilloma virus antigens (i. e. capsid specific proteic antigen). These antigens were localized in the nuclei of koilocytic cells. These results confirm the association between proliferative lesions appearing on the mucosal epithelium and Papilloma viruses, which are suspected to be oncogenic in other malpighian tissues.
