A Case of Giant Fibrovascular Polyp of the Esophagus, Treated Successfully by Endoscopic Resection

Abstract

Fibrovascular polyps are rare benign intraluminal tumors that usually arise from the cervical esophagus. These often present as very large sized pedunculated polyps and cause symptoms including dysphagia and respiratory distress. Generally, large polyps are surgically excised, while endoscopic resection is limited to smaller polyps. Herein, we present a giant fibrovascular polyp of the esophagus treated successfully by endoscopic resection. ( (Fig. 1A), 겸자로 압박

An Usual Cause of Intermittent Dysphagia

“…1 The treatment modality is chosen after assessing the origin, size, and vascularity of the pedicle. Generally, small polyps ＜2 cm in diameter with a thin pedicle can be removed endoscopically without many complications but this is not recommended in larger tumors (length ＞8 cm).…”
