Abstract
Fibrovascular polyps of the oesophagus are rare. Despite this, they provoke considerable interest because of their often dramatic presentation, and their potential for lethal complications. When the diagnosis is entertained, endoscopic or radiological confirmation is usually easily obtained and local excision is curative. An adult patient is described who presented after partial regurgitation of a 10 cm polyp. In view of the size of the lesion and its proximal attachment, endoscopic polypectomy was undertaken. The diagnostic pitfalls and therapeutic options in this unusual condition are discussed.Keywords
