Abstract
Fibrovascular polyp is a rare non-epithelial esophageal tumor arising from submucosal layer and consisting of connective and adipose tissue, as well large number of vessels. Large tumors can cause dysphagia, vomiting, chest pain, shortness of breath and/or asthma, while giant neoplasms are potentially life threatening. Despite active introduction of minimally invasive treatment of patients with non-epithelial gastrointestinal tumors, there are still difficulties in surgical treatment of fibrovascular polyps. The patient with a giant fibrovascular esophageal polyp presented with cough, discomfort in the throat, impaired swallowing and episode of tumor migration into oropharynx. Examination confirmed giant highly vascularized esophageal fibrovascular polyp. A novel hybrid surgical technique (endoscopic submucosal dissection with laparoscopic removal of tumor) was applied. Eight-month follow-up revealed no complications. Favorable clinical result was achieved. A hybrid laparo-endoscopic approach in the treatment of patients with large fibrovascular polyps minimizes perioperative risks and improves postoperative outcomes.
