Inflammatory fibroid polyp: A case report with review of the literature

Özet

Inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFPs) are rare benign mesenchymal neoplasms that occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract but most commonly in the stomach and small intestine. Here, in this study, we reported a case of IFP in gastric antrum in an Iranian woman in Western Iran. The report included a 59-year-old woman with a chief complaint of dyspepsia. The upper endoscopy revealed “gastric antrum polyp” and the previous pathology report was “adenomatous polyp (tubular adenoma) with low-grade dysplasia”. In conclusion, IFP is a benign submucosal lesion occurring more frequently in 6th or 7th decade of life, which is rarely associated with adenocarcinoma or adenoma and is been treated by local excision.
