Inflammatory fibroid polyp of the ileum causing intussusception: A case report Intususepsiyona neden olan ileumun inflamatuar fibroid polibi: Olgu sunumu

Inflammatory fibroid polyp is a rare polypoid lesion of the gast-rointestinal tract, histologically characterized by an admixture of numerous small blood vessels, fibroblasts and edematous connective tissue, accompanying a marked inflammatory cell infiltrate which contains eosinophils. Although it generally pre-sents as a polypoid mass in the gastric antrum, it can be seen throughout the gastrointestinal tract. It is believed to represent a reactive, nonneoplastic condition, but its histogenesis remains controversial. A case of inflammatory fibroid polyp of the ileum presenting clinically as intestinal obstruction due to intussus-ception is presented here.
