Laparoscopy Endoscopy Cooperative Surgery for Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp in the Esophagus

Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) appears most often in the stomach. We herein report an extremely rare case of esophageal IFP resected using laparoscopy endoscopy cooperative surgery (LECS). A 73-year-old man with dysphagia underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy. A 50-mm semi-pedunculated submucosal t...

Sumario:Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) appears most often in the stomach. We herein report an extremely rare case of esophageal IFP resected using laparoscopy endoscopy cooperative surgery (LECS). A 73-year-old man with dysphagia underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy. A 50-mm semi-pedunculated submucosal tumor was observed in the esophagogastric junction. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed a homogeneous, hypoechoic, and well-vascularized tumor in the second and third layers of the stomach, but endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration failed to establish a definite diagnosis. Since he was suffering from dysphagia, LECS was performed. The resected specimen proved that the tumor was an IFP originating from the esophagus.
