INTRODUCTION: Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a protuberant lesion, located near the muscularis mucosae and composed of a proliferation of fusiform cells and conjunctive fibers surrounding capillaries and a variable inflammatory infiltrate. It is believed to be a poorly controlled inflammatory repair response. Our aim was to study the clinical, pathological and follow-up characteristics of a series of patients with IFP.
PATIENTS AND METHOD: We studied 26 IFPs from 25 patients (16 women and 9 men) registered between 1985 and 2001 in a specific register of 3 centers in the city of Gerona (Spain). The variables analyzed were age, sex and clinical presentation, IFP localization and size, mucosal characteristics and associated disease, as well as follow-up information. Routine statistical analyses were performed.
RESULTS: IFPs were antral in 16 patients, ileal in 7, jejunal in 2 and colonic in the remaining patient. Size determined whether they were symptomatic (35 +/- 13.6 mm) or asymptomatic (8.4 +/- 6.3 mm). Gastric polyps were significantly smaller than intestinal polyps. Symptomatic polyps (5 out of 16 gastric polyps and 9 out of 10 intestinal polyps) predominated in women and occurred at a significantly lower age than asymptomatic polyps (59.2 versus 74.1 years). Most gastric IFPs were associated with chronic atrophic gastritis while only one ileal polyp was associated with Meckels diverticulum. The mean length of follow-up was 60.6 months and, except in one patient who underwent incomplete resection, no recurrences of IFP were observed.
CONCLUSION: IFP is a heterogeneous entity, depending on age at presentation, sex, size and location in the digestive tract. IFP does not recur after resection. The association of gastric IFP and chronic atrophic gastritis could suggest a modulatory effect of the mucosa on IFP growth.
