OBREGON-REYNA, Raúl et al. Management of complicated inflammatory fibroid polyp by partial laparoscopic esophagogastrectomy – A case report. Cir. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.88, suppl.1, pp.5-8. Epub 08-Fev-2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.19001207.
Background:
Inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFP), known as Vanek tumors, are benign neoplasms, usually located in the stomach and small bowel. The prognosis is good in long term.
Clinical case:
We report a 24-year-old woman, with 3 days history of abdominal pain located in the epigastrium, accompanied by melenic evacuations and weight loss since the last month, making the diagnosis of inflammatory fibroid gastric polyp by means of the upper endoscopy and biopsy.
Conclusions:
IFP are extremely rare neoplasms in the Mexican population. The symptoms range from asymptomatic, epigastralgia, anemia, and weight loss to intestinal obstruction. Its diagnosis is histopathological.
