    Abstract:
    Teleangiectatic polyps (TP) of the stomach arise from granulation OFFsue mostly in elderly people in the area of gastrojejunostomy decades after surgery. During endoscopy usually polyps of a size up to 2 cm can be found with a diffuse erosion of the surface and bleeding immediately upon being touched; this may cause the clinical symptomatology of acute gastric bleeding or chronic anemia as a consequence of blood loss. TP has to be differentiated in the first line from gastric carcinoma. Therapy is difficult especially in patients with big polyps because of the bleeding tendency, 5 case reports of TP are given.
