Abstract:

Fibrovascular polyps are submucosal tumors originating primarily from the cervical esophagus in the area of the pharyngo-esophageal junction. They are mostly benign but can cause asphyxia. We present a case of a 54-year-old man with dysphagia and shortness of breath, which appeared a few months ago. Computer tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and esophagoscopy were performed. A left-sided longitudinal cervicotomy, esophagotomy, and extirpation of an intraluminal tumor were performed. The histological finding confirmed it as a fibrovascular polyp, originating from the submucosa of the esophagus. Surgical treatment is the method of choice, especially for large polyps and those with thick stalk.
