Fibrovascular polyps of the oesophagus are rare tumor-like lesions characterized by development of the peduncolated intraluminal masses that can reach gigantic size and may have spectacular clinical presentation including regurgitation of a fleshy mass into the mouth and can lead to sudden death for occlusion of the larynx. Starting from a case observed and successfully treated by transoral resection we review the clinical radiographic and pathological findings of benign oesophageal tumor that requires surgical removal because of the progressive nature of the symptoms and the small, just known, risk of sudden death. The approach depends on the pedicule site.
