Unexpected Intussusception Caused By Giant Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp: Case Report

Abstract

Inflammatory fibroid polyps Vanek’s tumor are non-frequent benign lesions, described by Josef Vanek in 1949, that originate in the submucosa of the gastrointestinal tract and usually reach 1 to3 cm. They are generally seen in the stomach and the small intestines, and are less common in the colon and the esophagus. Inflammatory fibroid polyps IFPs are one of the rare conditions leading to intestinal obstruction in adults. A differential diagnosis includes gastrointestinal stromal tumor, small intestine lymphoma, and small intestine cancer. We presented here a case with a giant inflammatory fibroid polyp of the terminal ileum causing intussusception
