Inflammatory fibroid polyp of the oesophagus.
BACKGROUND
Inflammatory fibroid polyp of the oesophagus is an uncommon lesion and very rarely it grows rapidly.


METHODS
We present the case of a patient with a rapidly growing inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) of the oesophagus, which showed up within five months after a normal endoscopy.


CONCLUSIONS
The treatment of IFP is by surgical excision, either open or endoscopic. Laser or other form of ablative treatment like thermo cautery can also be tried.
