Fibrovascular polyp of the upper aerodigestive tract is an uncommon tumor that may present in pediatric patients with symptoms ranging from dysphagia to asphyxiation and death. We present a unique case of a pediatric patient with an asymptomatic fibrovascular polyp noted as an incidental finding on a cervical ultrasound evaluation. This lesion extended from the posterior tonsillar pillar and prolapsed freely into the nasopharynx and esophagus. The literature relevant to this case is reviewed, and the etiology, pathophysiology, and management principles are discussed.
上呼吸消化道纤维血管性息肉是一种罕见的肿瘤，可出现在儿科患者中，症状从吞咽困难到窒息甚至死亡不等。我们报告了一例独特的儿科患者病例，该患者在颈部超声评估中偶然发现了无症状的纤维血管性息肉。该病变从扁桃体后柱延伸，自由脱垂至鼻咽部和食管。本文回顾了与此病例相关的文献，并讨论了其病因、病理生理学和治疗原则。
