Abstract
Giant polyps of the esophagus are relatively rare. Without previous history , the diagnosis of the disease is difficult to be made by esophagography an d esophagoscopy. A case of giant intraluminal fibrovascular polyp (13x4x3.5 cm) of the esophagus is presented. The polyp was retrieved from the esophag us by a Foley's catheter and resected via the oral route.
