Vanek jejunal tumor, a rare cause of anemic syndrome. Review of the literature.

Inflammatory fibroid polyps (IPF), also called Vanek tumors, are rare, benign lesions of mesenchymal origin. They can affect both sexes with a majority incidence between 50-70 years. We present the case of a 53-year-old woman with an outpatient clinic due to severe iron deficiency anemia, gastroscopy and colonoscopy without relevant findings. A study with capsule endoscopy identify an ulcerated polypoid mass, which caused a slight stenosis of the lumen, allowing the passage of the capsule endoscopy compatible with Vanek's tumor.
