RESUMEN
Foreign bodies in the upper aerodigestive tract are one of the most frequently encountered accidental cases in the otolaryngological fields, and may cause severe complications such as esophageal ulceration, esophageal perforation, periesophagitis, tracheoesophageal fistula, mediastinitis, pneumothorax and pyothorax. Therefore, speedy diagnosis and early intervention is needed to reduce morbidity and mortality. Recently, we experienced a rare case of esophageal foreign body which caused unilateral vocal cord paralysis. We report this case with a review of literature.

Benign tumor of the esophagus are rare, and the true incidence rate is unknown. Fibrovascular polyp is the most common intraluminal tumor, although its occurrence is rare. The fibrovascular polyp has been called variously fibroma, fibrolipoma, myxofibroma, polyp, and pedunclated lipoma. The majority of fibrovascular polyps are solitary, but cases of multiple polyps have been reported. Recently the authors have experienced a case of fibrovascular polyp of the upper esophagus, regurgitated into the hypopharyngeal cavity which might been mistaken for laryngo-pharyngeal mass. We report this case with brief review of the literatures.
