ABSTRACT
Fibrovascular polyp (FVP) mostly occurs in the upper cervical esophagus, hypopharynx, and occasionally in the oropharynx. However, it occurs very rarely in the nasopharynx. FVP is a slow growing tumor which often fails to produce symptoms until it has achieved massive size. Symptoms are diverse, ranging from asymptomatic to obstructive asphyxia according to the size of mass. We have recently experienced a rare case of a 14-year-old boy who complained of bilateral nasal obstruction due to a mass originating from the nasopharyngeal surface of soft palate, which is pathologically a nonnasal lesion. It was diagnosed as FVP and was successfully managed using cold instruments under endoscopy.
