title: Inflammatory fibroid polyp presenting as intussusception.
abstract: The majority of adult intussusceptions have a well-defined pathological abnormality as the lead point. We present the case of a 41-year-old female who presented to the Emergency Department on four different occasions with intermittent epigastric pain, associated with vomiting. On the fourth occasion, she was found to have a bowel obstruction caused by an ileocolic intussusception, diagnosed on CT. The lead point for her intussusception was a rare non-neoplastic submucosal lesion seldom found in the ileum, an inflammatory fibroid polyp.
