Fibrovascular polyp of the esophagus is a rare and benign pedunculated intraluminal tumor. Microscopically the tumor consists of varying amount of vascular fibrous and adipose tissue that arises in the submucosa and is covered by squamous epithelium (1-5). Grossly the tumor is usually lobulated or club-like in shape , butthe stalk is often comparatively thin (6). Because surgical removal (cervi...

Fibrovascular polyps of the esophagus are rare benign lesions that arise from the cervical esophagus and can reach very big size before they become symptomatic. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice, since endoscopic removal is not always feasible.We present this case in order to emphasize the significance of localizing, preoperatively, the exact origin of the pedicle in planning the way...

Benign tumors of the esophagus are uncommon, representing <0.5% of esophageal tumors. Fibrolipomas are a subset of benign fibrovascular tumors, which present with dysphagia, odynophagia, and substernal fullness. These intraluminal tumors can become elongated and molded into a long pedunculated polyp by constant peristaltic movements. They can cause esophageal obstruction if large and long enoug...

BACKGROUND Giant fibrovascular polyps (FVP) are relatively rare benign neoplasm of the upper esophagus and hypopharynx. Without previous history, their diagnosis might be difficult as the endoscopic findings are sometimes misinterpretedMaterials and methods: The present report describes a case, in which the patient regurgitated his giant polypoid mass into his mouth and captured it between his ...
