  • Title: Ileal inflammatory fibroid polyp causing chronic ileocolic intussusception and mimicking cecal carcinoma.
    Author: Gara N, Falzarano JS, Limm WM, Namiki TS, Tom LK.
    Journal: World J Gastrointest Oncol; 2009 Oct 15; 1(1):89-92. PubMed ID: 21160780.
    Abstract:
    Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a rare, idiopathic pseudotumorous lesion of the gastrointestinal tract. While mostly reported as solitary gastric lesions, multiple cases of small bowel IFPs are also reported. It is a documented cause of intussusception in adults. In the case reports of ileal inflammatory fibroid polyps with intussusception, an emergent presentation with small bowel obstruction has been most often described. Here we depict a case of ileal inflammatory fibroid polyp presenting with chronic intermittent ileocolic intussusception, anemia and weight loss with an endoscopic appearance mimicking necrotic cecal carcinoma.
