Fibrovascular Polyp of the Esophagus in an Infant: A Rare Case Emerging from a Tribal Healthcare Setting.

Fibrovascular polyp (FVP) is an uncommon, benign, intraluminal, submucosal tumor-like lesion characterized by the development of pedunculated masses that can exhibit enormous intraluminal growth potential. It most commonly originates from the proximal esophagus. They can grow to considerable length and cause digestive or respiratory symptoms. The preferred method of treatment is surgical removal, either endoscopically or openly. A 7-month-old female child presented with complaints of a soft mass protruding while coughing, difficulty in breathing, and progressive dysphasia. The patient has had this complaint for the last 4 months. For the above complaint, they visited our facility. On examination, there was a mass visible in the oropharynx. For this, contrast-enhanced CT-chest was done, suggesting a well-circumscribed ovoid predominantly fat-attenuated soft tissue lesion is seen in the upper cervicothoracic esophagus, suggesting fibrovascular polyps. A patient coming with a mass protruding from the mouth while coughing and with the complaint of progressive dysphagia must be evaluated by endoscopy and imaging. Fibrovascular polyps must be considered as a differential diagnosis of the tumor in this area, and it should be surgically corrected.
