case_images: A dull, red tumor was protruding from his mouth (Fig. 1), he was experiencing dyspnea in the dorsal position, and his speech was slurred.
case_images: Endoscopic views of the polyp. a, b: A large polyp (asterisks) with two branches from the right hypopharynx on the base of tongue (arrow in a) covered almost the entire larynx and caused airway narrowing (arrow in b)

case_images: The tumor caused almost complete airway obstruction (Fig. 2).
case_images: Radiological findings. a, b: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans revealed that the tumor (arrow) occupied the oral cavity to the esophagus (a axial, b sagittal). c, d: T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging revealed a high-intensity area within the tumor (arrow) (c axial, d sagittal)

case_images: Fig3
case_images: T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed that the tumor had a high-intensity area (Fig. 3).
case_images: Histological findings. A forked fibrovascular polyp, with branched ends measuring 12 and 8 cm, respectively, was removed

case_images: Fig4
case_images: The body of the tumor was smooth and dark red-brown color, and the two, branched ends of the tumor measured 12 and 8 cm, respectively (Fig. 4).
case_images: Microscopic findings. The polyp consisted of fibro-adipose tissues (white arrows) and blood vessels (gray arrows) covered by normal squamous cell epithelium (black arrows). Magnification,  x 20; Hematoxylin-eosin stain
