| Popis: | In the surgical field, benign esophageal tumors are much more uncommon than esophageal malignancies. In particular, fibrovascular polyps of the esophagus are extremely rare. We present a case involving a giant fibrovascular polyp (22 cm × 9 cm) in which not only location and site of origin but also precise polyp type were diagnosed preoperatively using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The lesion was then resected safely using a cervical approach. MRI is useful for acquiring valuable information about fibrovascular polyps. This case demonstrates the utility and safety of transcervical esophagotomy in the treatment of giant fibrovascular polyp of the esophagus. |
