Abstract

Inflammatory fibroid polyps are uncommon but well documented solitary polypoid lesions occurring in gastrointestinal tract; most commonly in stomach followed by ileum and rarely in colon, duodenum and oesophagus. Polyps in ileum most commonly present with acute intestinal obstruction as a result of intussusception. We describe one case of inflammatory fibroid polyps of the small intestine causing ileoileal intussusception.
