Hybrid laparo-endoscopic access: New approach to surgical treatment for giant fibrovascular polyp of esophagus: A case report and review of literature.

They are highly vascularized and can cause difficulty swallowing and even fatal complications such as uncontrolled bleeding and death caused by asphyxiation in case of tumor migration to oropharynx.
