Small bowel obstruction due to inflammatory fibroid polyp

J Indian Med Assoc. 2012 Jan;110(1):51-2.

Abstract

Inflammatory fibroid polyp is a benign and non-neoplastic condition of the intestinal tract, commonly affecting the gastric antrum, though it can affect any part of the gastro-intestinal tract. It is a submucosal, sessile, poypoid mass composed of myofibroblast like mesenchymal cells, numerous small blood vessels and marked inflammatory cell infiltrate mainly eosinophils. It commonly presents as intestinal obstruction or intussusception. A case of recurrent partial small intestinal obstruction due to intermittent intussusception associated with inflammatory fibroid polyp of jejunum is being reported.
