Peroral endoscopic tumor resection of recurrent hypopharyngeal fibrovascular polyp.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Fibrovascular polyps (FVPs) are rare benign submucosal tumors of the pharynx and cervical esophagus that can cause dysphagia and airway obstruction. We report the successful endoscopic resection of a recurrent FVP in the hypopharynx using peroral endoscopic tumor resection techniques in combination with pharyngeal endoscopic treatment strategies. A 56-year-old woman presented with a recurrent FVP in the right arytenoid region after an incomplete resection. Because of tumor growth and worsening dysphagia, we opted to perform the endoscopic resection after thorough evaluation.

Methods

The procedure was performed with the patient under general anesthesia. Intra- and postoperative airway management was secured with temporary percutaneous cricothyrotomy. Laryn
