Description
Summary:Abstract Endotracheal fibroepithelial polyp is a rare disease in the airways. This report describes a rare case of a tracheal giant fibroepithelial polyp. A 17-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with severe acute respiratory failure. Chest computed tomography revealed a tumor located below the epiglottis. Endotracheal bronchoscopic examination showed a giant polyp. This endotracheal polyp was removed with ablation, by using high-frequency electricity through flexible bronchoscopy under intravenous anesthesia. The patient has had a good recovery after the intervention and at long-term follow-up. We herein describe and discuss the appropriate therapeutic approach and also review the pertinent literature.
