4. 4. Fig GI 6-2 Fibrovascular polyp.
5. 5. Fig GI 6-3 Inflammatory esophagogastric polyp. Distal esophageal filling defect (large arrow) in continuity with a thickened gastric fold (small arrows).
6. 6. Fig GI 6-4 Carcinoma of the esophagus. (A) Localized polypoid mass with ulceration (arrows). (B) Bulky irregular filling defect with destruction of mucosal folds.
7. 7. Fig GI 6-5 Carcinosarcoma. Bulky, intraluminal, polypoid mass (arrows).
8. 8. Fig GI 6-6 Verrucous squamous cell carcinoma. The smooth-surfaced filling defect in the distal esophagus (arrow) has a benign appearance.
9. 9. Fig GI 6-7 Candida esophagitis. Numerous plaque-like defects in the middle and distal esophagus. Note that the plaques have discrete margins and a predominantly longitudinal orientation.
