BERNAL EUSSE, Alberto; COCK BOTERO, Ana María; PEREZ, María del Pilar  e  BERNAL CUARTAS, Carolina. Presentation of two cases of Vanek's tumor (inflammatory fibroid polyp) in Medellín. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2012, vol.27, n.4, pp.327-330. ISSN 0120-9957.

We report on two cases of inflammatory fibroid polyps in the stomach (Vanek's tumor). The first patient was a 63-year-old woman with abdominal pain for whom resection of an antral polypoid lesion was done. This polyp presented classical histopathology. The second case was a 63-year-old male patient who was admitted to the hospital with hemorrhagic shock due to hematemesis. During endoscopy a Dieulafoy's lesion was found in the cardia of the stomach and a polypoid lesion was found in the antrum. Unusual histopathology required that the diagnosis be confirmed by immunohistochemistry.
