Abstract EN
Fibrovascular polyps occur most commonly in the cervical esophagus and are extremely rare in the hypopharynx.
In this paper, we report a case of fibrovascular polyp of a 52-year-old female, who presented with progressive dysphagia and weight loss and regurgitating a mass from her mouth.
By the endoscopic examination, a polyp covered by normal mucosa with a wide stalk was detected at the hypopharynx.
The pedicle of the mass was identified under general anesthesia and the 13 × 3 × 2 cm mass was completely resected perorally.
Histopathological examination of the tumor showed oedematous subepithelial fibrous stroma, surrounded by squamous epithelium and containing many congested vascular structures.
No recurrence was detected over one year of follow-up.
This case highlights the need for clinicians to be aware of this rare entity and to develop the best approach to patient management.
