Giant Fibrovascular Polyp of the Esophagus : A Novel Technical Approach

Abstract EN

Fibrovascular polyps (FVPs) of the esophagus are rare, and their course is usually indolent until reaching enormous proportions.

It is a dramatic entity owing to its tendency to cause bizarre complications.

We describe a 49-year-old female patient with sudden dyspnoea that required digital maneuvers to clear the airway.

After diagnosing, an FVP of the esophagus, a video-assisted endocavitary surgery was made.

Histopathological examination revealed a fibrovascular polyp.

Endoscopic controls after excision show no mass or symptoms recurrence.
