Fibrovascular polyps of the esophagus are extremely rare. A 52-year-old woman had the sensation of food sticking in her throat for 3 weeks. Examination revealed a polypoid lesion within the esophagus that extended from the pyriform sinus to the distal esophagus above the gastric cardia. With the patient under general anesthesia, the stalk of the lesion was cut through the rigid laryngoscope; however, the tumor could not be retrieved through the mouth. Large biopsies of the lesion were taken. The remaining lesion was later passed in the fecal matter. Pathological findings were consistent with the features of fibrovascular polyps.
