We describe a 45 year-old man with a fibrovascular polyp attached to the entrance of the oesophagus. The patient had a history with regurgitation of polypose foreign body 4-5 years ago with spontaneous remission. Later the patient developed dysphagia, chest pain and weight loss. Gastroscopy revealed a large polyp in the oesophagus and biopsies showed no malignancy. Excision was intended to be performed endoscopically, but due to size, risk of bleeding and recurrence the operation was changed to a transcervical procedure. After one week the patient could eat and drink normally.
