A case of endoscopically resected fibrovascular polyp arose from lower esophagus.

Abstract

Fibrovascular polyps are very rare benign tumors almost originating from the cervical esophagus. We present the case of a 50-year-old man with a history of dizziness and dyspnea on effort for two weeks. The barium esophagogram showed a smooth and rounded polypoid tumor at EG junction. Endoscopy revealed the smooth and white polypoid tumor at EG junction, which arose from the lower esophagus, and the head of the tumor was herniated into the stomach. Because the potentially malignant tumor was suspected by endoscopic biopsy, and the tumor was small in size, we performed endoscopic resection. The final diagnosis was the fibrovascular polyp of the esophagus. This is a very rare case, because this polyp was not only small but also arose from lower esophagus.
