title: Inflammatory fibroid polyp of the jejunum causing intussusception: a case report.
abstract: Inflammatory fibroid polyp is a rare benign lesion of the gastrointestinal tract. This report concerns a 56-year-old female who presented with intermittent abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea; she had had partial intestinal obstruction over a period of two months. Plain abdomen showed dilatation of the small bowels. Abdominal echo revealed intussusception of the small intestine. During exploratory laparotomy a polypoid dumb-bell shaped polyp was noted as the leading point of the jejunojejunal intussusception, segmental resection of the jejunum was performed. Histological features of the polyp met the diagnosis of inflammatory fibroid polyp.
