“…When symptomatic, they present with abdominal pain, weight loss, ulcer-like symptoms, overt gastro-intestinal bleeding or iron deficiency anaemia [3]and intussusception [4,5,6]. Their size is the main determiner of their clinical presentation [7]. There are no valid data regarding their growth and no clear evidence whether their growth stops after reaching a certain size or whether they continue to enlarge.…”

Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp or Vanek’s Tumour

et al. 2007

We report a case of a 65-year-old woman who presented with recurrent episodes of severe, postprandial abdominal pain followed by projectile vomiting. Gastroscopy revealed a large polyp in the prepyloric region. During peristalsis, the polyp was repeatedly ‘passing’ through the pylorus into the duodenal bulb, hence obstructing the lumen. The polyp was eventually removed in a piecemeal fashion. Histopathologic examination revealed an inflammatory fibroid polyp (known also as Vanek’s tumour). A brief review on inflammatory fibroid polyps follows.

A unique case of inflammatory fibroid polyp in the duodenum of a female adolescent

et al. 2017

Background:Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a very rare benign condition in children that can occur throughout the gastrointestinal tract. It is characterized as a polypoid lesion originating in the submucosa, composed of connective tissue and eosinophilic infiltrate. It is most common in the stomach and in adults between the fifth and seventh decades of life. Its occurrence is unusual in the duodenum.Case Summary:One case of duodenal IFP was described and the literature is reviewed with emphasis on the clinical and pathological features of IFP in children. A case of an IFP in the duodenum of a 13-year-old girl, who presented with abdominal pain, weight loss, vomiting, and constipation. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy; a stenosing tumor of the third duodenal portion was found. The affected segment was resected and an end-to-end anastomosis between the duodenum and jejunum segment was performed. Immunohistochemically, actin and CD34 were positive, Ki67 was positive in <1% of cells, and the proteins CD117 and S100 were negative.Conclusion:To our best of our knowledge, this is the fourth report of IFP in adolescents, the first in a female's duodenum.

“…Vanek's tumors are most often observed in the gastric antrum and ileum, and are sometimes microscopically mistaken with a variety of lesions, from granulation tissue to high-grade sarcoma. In the differential diagnosis, it is important to include eosinophilic gastroenteritis, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, inflammatory pseudo tumor, haemangioendothelioma and haemangiopericytom [4].…”

“…Gastrointestinal bleeding, total or partial intestinal occlusion and intestinal invagination are the most frequent symptoms. Fever, polyarthritis, polyarthralgia, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, leukocytosis or thrombocytosis are some uncommon reported findings 4 . Ultrasonography, CT-scan, endoscopy and double-balloon endoscopy are some of the studies which could be helpful for the diagnosis [5].…”

Benign intestinal tumors are the most frequent cause of small bowel intussusception in adults. This report presents a case of a 67-year-old male with abdominal pain, leukocytosis and C-reactive protein elevation. After ultrasonography and double contrast CT-scan consistent with ileal intussusception patient underwent laparoscopy, which confirmed diagnose. Intestinal resection and anastomosis were performed via minilaparotomy. Further histological study showed a fibroid inflammatory polyp or Vanek’s tumor as intussusception’s lead point
