  • Title: Jejunojejunal intussusception caused by an inflammatory fibroid polyp. Case report and review of the literature.
    Author: El Hajj II, Sharara AI.
    Journal: J Med Liban; 2007; 55(2):108-11. PubMed ID: 17685126.
    Abstract:
    Inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFPs) are rare benign submucosal growth of the gastrointestinal tract. The exact pathogenesis is still not well known. Clinical symptoms are variable. Physical exam and laboratory tests are helpful in establishing the diagnosis ; however, microscopic examination of the resected lesions is required to confirm the diagnosis of IFPs. Surgical resection of the lesion remains the primary therapy. Jejunojejunal intussusception secondary to IFPs in particular has only rarely been reported. We have reviewed all documented cases and added a new one to the literature. In this paper, we examine pertinent pathologic, epidemiologic, clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic characteristics of this clinical entity.
