title: [Intestinal obstruction with invagination caused by an inflammatory fibroid polyp of the small intestine].
abstract: We observed the rare case of a 50-year-old man with intestinal obstruction due to an inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) of the jejunum. Here, we report its clinical and pathological characteristics, and its histologic appearance. Limited small bowel resection led to complete recovery of the patient. In a short review of the literature, possible pathogenetic mechanisms as well as diagnostic and therapeutic means are discussed. Although rare, IFP should be considered in the differential diagnosis of small bowel obstruction.
