title: Angiolipoma of hypopharynx: A diagnostic dilemma.
abstract: Fibro vascular polyps of esophagus are rare tumours. They usually arise close to cricopharyngeus muscle. The commonest symptom is dysphagia but regurgitation of fleshy mass into mouth, regurgitation of recently digested food and sensation of lump in throat are also reported. Several reports of polyp regurgitation and subsequent airway obstruction are mentioned. We present a 48-year-old male with fibrovascular polyp of hypopharynx. Diagnosis was established by barium swallow and oesophagoscopy.Transoral route was used to remove the polyp and histopathology reported as angiolipoma.
