Giant fibrovascular polyp of the esophagus.

We report on a patient who presented a fibrovascular polyp of the esophagus, which is an uncommon submucosal tumor that can attain giant proportions. It is covered with squamous epithelium and consists of a mixture of myxoid-collagenous fibrous elements, vascular structures and adipose cells. Diagnosis is made via upper endoscopy, echoendosonography and barium studies. CT and MR imaging can be helpful for full evaluation of this rare lesion.
