Giant hypopharyngeal fibroepithelial polyp: a case report and literature review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fibroepithelial pharyngeal polyps are rare. We herein report a case of a 56-year-old Asian woman who presented with voice hoarseness and throat discomfort for several years because of a giant pharyngeal polyp. We resected the polyp under general anesthesia. It originated in the left hypopharyngeal wall. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. Her sore throat was diminished within 1 week after the operation. Pathological findings revealed a benign fibroepithelial polyp. At the time of this writing, the polyp had shown no regrowth. To our knowledge, this report describes the second largest fibroepithelial polyp among those reported previously.
