[Giant solitary fibrovascular polyp of the esophagus causing diagnostic problems].
The giant fibrovascular polyp is a rear benign entity of the esophagus. In the literature it almost always appears in single case reports. The authors present a case of a patient with a giant fibrovascular polyp caused serious diagnostic problems. The 50-year-old patient was investigated for dysphagia and effort dependent dyspnea. The preoperative examination confirmed a 60x50x90 mm size tumor-like intramural lesion in the upper third of the esophagus. During the operation we found a sessile intraluminal polyp which has removed. The histology confirmed giant fibrovascular polyp.
