    Abstract:
    We report a case of esophageal fibrovascular polyp (FVP) removed by cervical esophagotomy. The patient was a 74-year-old man in whom an intraesophageal mass was detected by a chest CT examination during a complete medical check-up. An upper gastrointestinal series showed a large, pedunculated, cervical esophageal mass for which our preoperative diagnosis was a FVP. We studied its features, as well as removal procedures in 45 patients in the literature. Most patients had marked symptoms, but ours had no complaints, and so this case may be a rare one. Various removal procedures were reported, but thoracotomy and esophagectomy are considered to be the inappropriate procedures since FVP is a benign disorder.
