    AbstractA sensation of a lump in the throat will often cause fear of tumor. Underlying the symptom is only seldom a tumor, which is, however, malignant in about 97 to 99% of cases of hypopharyngeal occurrence. Excessive alcohol consumption and smoking constitute the their greatest risk factors. We present a patient case relating to a rare benign tumor of the hypopharynx (giant fibrovascular polyp, GFP).
