This case report describes two patients of fibrovascular polyp of the esophagus. Case 1: A 35-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of epigastric pain on March 11th, 1983. On upper gastrointestinal roentgenogram, a small protruded lesion was recognized in the lower esophagus (Figure 1). Endoscopical examination showed it to be a lobulated polyp (Figure 2) and it was removed by polypectomy. The collected polyp measured 6×5×6 mm (Figure 3) and the histological finding disclosed fibrovascular polyp (Figure 4). Case 2 : A 56-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with epigastric discomfort on April 11th, 1983. On upper gastrointestinal roentgenogram, a small protruded lesion was recognized in the lower esophagus (Figure 5). Endoscopical examination showed it to be a emipedunculated polyp (Figure 6) which was removed by polypectomy. The collected polyp measured 3×3×4 mm (Figure 7) and the histological finding disclosed fibrovascular polyp (Figure 8). 16 cases of esophageal polyp have been reported so far in Japan. Endoscopic polypectomy is useful for the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal polyp.
