Abstract
We present a patient with large fibrovascular polyp of the sigmoid; an extremely rare submucosal tumor with
only one case report in the literature. A 78-year-old woman presented with constipation and abdominal pain and
intermittent maroon stool. Colonoscopic examination and other imaging revealed a large (6 centimeter), intraluminal
pedunculated polyp in the sigmoid that was removed as segmental colectomy. Histological diagnosis of
the surgical specimen was fibrovascular polyp. Fibrovascular polyp of the colon is an extremely rare submucosal
intraluminal tumor that can cause constipation, abdominal pain, obstruction, and or bleeding.
