Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Inflammatory fibroid polyp is a rare condition of the gastrointestinal tract which can lead to intestinal obstruction.
CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a 65-year-old woman presenting with a 1-month history of intermittent generalised abdominal pain. Computerised tomography imaging demonstrated intussusception of the small bowel. Histology of the resected small bowel revealed an inflammatory fibroid polyp with evidence of chronic ischaemia related to repeated intussusception. This rare complication of inflammatory fibroid polyps is reviewed.
CONCLUSION: Although computed tomography is useful in confirming an anatomical abnormality, final diagnosis requires histopathological analysis. Operative resection of the affected segment is recommended.
