Polyps are common lesions in pharynx and larynx. A 46-year-old
woman was transferred to our department because of the huge
pharyngeal mass that was incidentally detected during routine
health screening. On laryngoscopic exam, the airway was not
visualized due to the mass but she had no symptom such as
hoarseness, dysphagia and dyspnea. Awake intubation was safely
performed using flexible bronchoscope without tracheostomy. A 4 cm
sized mass on the left aryepiglottic fold was transorally removed
and discharged without complication. The pathologic diagnosis was
reported as 'Giant Polyp'. Herein, we describe a case of huge giant
polyp on aryepiglottic fold, which has not been reported in the
English literature.
