Abstract

Benign tumor of the esophagus are rare, and the true incidence rate is unknown. Fibrovascular polyp is the most common intraluminal tumor, although its occurrence is rare. The fibrovascular polyp has been called variously fibroma, fibrolipoma, myxofibroma, polyp, and pedunclated lipoma. The majority of fibrovascular polyps are solitary, but cases of multiple polyps have been reported. Recently the authors have experienced a case of fibrovascular polyp of the upper esophagus, regurgitated into the hypopharyngeal cavity which might been mistaken for laryngo-pharyngeal mass. We report this case with brief review of the literatures.
