Rare cause of dysphagia: A case report of oesophageal fibrovascular polyp.

Abstract

Abstract:

Fibrovascular polyp is a benign, pedunculated and intraluminal tumour of the oesophagus. The symptoms develop when the size is enormous. We describe a case of oesophageal polyp in a 33-year old lady with worsening dysphagia, foreign body sensation and significant weight lost. The upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed an elongated intramural oesophageal mass covered by normal mucosa. The images from barium swallow study, Computed Tomography scan and Magnetic Resonance Imaging are suggestive of oesophageal fibrovascular polyp.

Keywords: fibrovascular polyp, oesophageal tumours, dysphagia, barium swallow.
