Sumario:Capillary hemangioblastoma (CHB) is a benign, highly vascularized tumor that generally occurs in central nervous system either in the setting of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease or, more often, as a solitary sporadic lesion that is increasingly recognized in extraneural sites. We present the case of a 18 year-old man with abdominal pain, nausea and hematemesis, the endoscopy showed polypoid tumor bleeding of 5 cm in gastric antrum. The patients had not signs of VHL disease and was subjected to subtotal gastrectomy and referred to our institution. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of CHB occurring in stomach.
