A Case of Giant Fibrovascular Polyp of the Esophagus, Treated Successfully by Endoscopic Resection

Abstract

Fibrovascular polyps are rare benign intraluminal tumors that usually arise from the cervical esophagus. These often present as very large sized pedunculated polyps and cause symptoms including dysphagia and respiratory distress. Generally, large polyps are surgically excised, while endoscopic resection is limited to smaller polyps. Herein, we present a giant fibrovascular polyp of the esophagus treated successfully by endoscopic resection. (Korean J Gastroenterol 2016;67:253-256)
