Large Fibrovascular Polyp at the Lesser Curvature of the Stomach: A Case Report and Literature Review

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Fibrovascular polyps are rare, pedunculated, tumor-like lesions usually found in the esophagus. Their occurrence in the stomach is exceedingly rare. In the literature review, several case reports documented fibrovascular polyps developing in the stomach. In this article, we presented a case of a large fibrovascular polyp at the stomach's lesser curvature, protruding from the lesser curvature forward to the vascular spleen and the tail of the pancreas. The patient was admitted with signs of severe blood loss and underwent splenectomy with a misdiagnosis of splenic rupture at a secondary hospital before. The surgery was performed to remove the fibrovascular polyp with wedge gastric resection and distal pancreatectomy.
