ABSTRACT
Giant fibrovascular polyps of the esophagus and hypopharynx are rare, benign, and tumor-like lesions of the upper digestive tract. Due to the initial lack of symptoms, these polyps are often clinically undiagnosed or misdiagnosed until they are significant in size. Most of them can be surgically removed by a cervical incision approach or endoscopic approach. However, we experienced a case of 37 years old male patient, who had a giant fibrovascular polyp of the hypopharynx removed by transoral approach because of the location and size of the stalk. We present this case of a giant fibrovascular polyp of the hypopharynx with a brief review of literature.
