São pedunculados e intraluminais, recobertos por mucosa normal e composto por tecidos vascular, fibroso e adiposo3. Origina-se geralmente do terço proximal do esôfago e podem atingir grandes dimensões. Os sintomas só aparecem quando o pólipo se torna grande. Existem relatos de morte súbita por asfixia após regurgitação da lesão11. A incidência é maior em homens de 50 a 60 anos3,10. Em vista dos sintomas debilitantes e do risco de asfixia destas lesões, a ressecção é indicada, e normalmente realizada por meio de esofagotomia cervical3. Ressecção endoscópica é reservada para casos de pólipos pequenos.
