RESUMO
The lymphangioma is a rare and very uncommon benign tumor at the gastric level. Its diagnosis typically involves imaging tests and endoscopy, and its treatment usually involves surgery. We present a case of an 82-year-old patient who presented with chronic anemia, with a large gastric polyp detected during the initial gastroscopy. Subsequently, an endoscopic resection was performed, confirming histologically that it was a lymphangioma.(AU)
