- Abstract
- Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp (IFP) is an extremely rare tumour involving the gastrointestinal tract (GI) and especially the stomach and small bowel. It presents either as a solitary large or sessile lesion arising from the submucosa and despite a large size and sometimes infiltrating growth, the tumour is always benign and has a good prognosis. Histogenesis remains unknown and controversial. We report an ileal case presenting classically and typically with ileocolic intussusception. Diagnosis was made preoperatively with abdominal mdCT The polyp itself does not have noteworthy radiological signs but must be included in the large essentially histological differential diagnosis of GI tumours.
