Overcoming challenges in the endoscopic resection of a giant esophageal fibrovascular polyp

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Background and Aims: Esophageal fibrovascular polyps are rare benign tumors that usually present with dysphagia. Large polyps usually necessitate an aggressive type of surgery. Methods: We present the resection of a giant fibrovascular polyp using an endoscopic submucosal dissection technique followed by band ligation of the residual stump. Results: Endoscopic submucosal dissection was feasible and effective in complete resection of a giant polyp with subsequent relief of the presenting symptoms. Conclusions: Endoscopic submucosal dissection for such lesions is considered as a rescue therapeutic option whenever it is possible.
