title: Inflammatory fibroid polyp of the colon simulating malignancy.
abstract: The authors report an inflammatory fibroid polyp of the colon which simulated a tumor on the air-contrast barium-enema examination. Histological evaluation revealed the inflammatory nature of the polyp. These rare lesions can be radiographically indistinguishable from primary colon carcinoma.
