title: [Inflammatory fibroid polyp of the ileum].
abstract: A new case of ileal inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is reported. A 76 years old woman presented with abdominal pain due to intestinal obstruction; an ileo-ileal intussusception caused by an ulcerated submucosal polyp was found at laparotomy. The IFP usually appears as a solitary benign lesion, rarely located in the ileum. It is made up of fibrous tissue with a dense infiltrate composed predominantly of eosinophils.
