Article scientifique 2016 Anglais

Résumé

Fibroepithelial pharyngeal polyps are rare.We herein report a case of a 56-year-old Asian woman who presented with voice hoarseness and throat discomfort for several years because of a giant pharyngeal polyp.We resected the polyp under general anesthesia.It originated in the left hypopharyngeal wall.Postoperative recovery was uneventful.Her sore throat was diminished within 1 week after the operation.Pathological findings revealed a benign fibroepithelial polyp.At the time of this writing, the polyp had shown no regrowth.To our knowledge, this report describes the second largest fibroepithelial polyp among those reported previously.
