Abstract:Objective To investigate the etiology, clinical characteristics, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of fibroepithelial polyps of larynx, so as to improve the understanding of this disease. Methods Clinical data of a patient with fibroepithelial polyp of larynx were analyzed retrospectively,and the clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment of fibroepithelial polyp was summarized through literature review. In this patient, airway obstruction was initially relieved by tracheotomy and laryngeal tumor biopsy was performed. And then plasma resection of the fibroepithelial polyp was performed under self-retaining laryngoscope in the second stage after pathological confirmation of fibroepithelial polyp. Results The patient recovered well after surgery and the trachea cannula was removed successfully. Follow-up for one year revealed neither recurrence nor malignant change. Conclusions Fibroepithelial polyp of larynx is a benign tumor originated from mesoderm, which is rare in clinic. The main treatment is complete surgical resection with good prognosis.
