Giant fibrovascular polyp on aryepiglottic fold.

Polyps are common lesions in pharynx and larynx. A 46-year-old woman was transferred to our department because of the huge laryngeal mass, which was incidentally detected during routine health screening. On laryngoscopic exam, both vocal folds were not visualized due to the mass but she had no symptom such as hoarseness, dysphagia, and dyspnea. Awake intubation was safely performed using flexible bronchoscope without tracheostomy. A 4-cm sized mass on the left aryepiglottic fold was removed with trans-oral approach and discharged without complication. The pathologic diagnosis was reported as 'fibrovascular polyp'. Herein, we describe a unique case of giant fibrovascular polyp on aryepiglottic fold, which is the first report in the English literature.
