Abstract

The stomach fibro-inflammatory-polyp is distinguished from the eosinophilic granuloma by some authors because of their geographic assessments. It is an inflammatory affection represented by a pseudo tumoral lesion. We present a case concerning a woman, 62 years old, who presented since 10 years a Biermer anaemia; a neoplastic affection was suspected, and then denied by histopathologic exam. We shall discuss the pathogenic and therapeutic data proposed by the literature. Recently, the treatment of this benign lesion consists in endoscopic resection. There no recurrence or malignant degeneration.
