title: Two cases of small bowel obstruction due to intussuscepting inflammatory fibroid polyps.
abstract: Two case studies of inflammatory fibroid polyps are described. The most important feature of these lesions is that they represent a non-malignant cause of intestinal obstruction in elderly patients which is easily resected and does not recur.
