Abstract
Fibrovascular polyps (FVPs) are rare benign submucosal tumor-like lesions originating in the cervical esophagus and sporadically in the hypopharynx. In this article, we report a rare case of FVPs of the hypopharynx (hFVPs) with a mass measuring 16.0 × 4.0 × 1.8 cm in size, discussed its surgical strategy, and additionally reviewed relevant literature on important factors, such as age, sex, symptoms, size, treatments, and recurrence, associated with hFVPs.
