Core Tip	We report an unusual case of giant hypopharyngeal polyp in a patient with anemia by chronic oozing. Giant esophageal and hypopharyngeal polyps are benign tumors rarely encountered in clinical practice; in fact, there are approximately 250 cases reported in the literature. The interesting fact is the patient regurgitated the polyp during the extraction of the echoendoscope (photo), fortunately without experiencing respiratory distress. It is rare to diagnose these polyps and it is even rarer to perform emergency surgery due to the presence of a large, regurgitated polyp that occupies most of the oral cavity.
