Abstract: Inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFPs) of the small intestine are relatively rare. We report a case of IFP of the ileum presenting with intussusception, and we review the pertinent literatures. A 39-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of intermittent abdominal pain and vomiting. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed small bowel obstruction due to intussusception. An emergency laparotomy was performed because of signs of impending acute intestinal obstruction. At surgery, ileo-colic intussusception caused by an ileal polyp was found. A partial resection of the ileum including the polyp was carried out. Pathological diagnosis of the polyp was IFP. IFP should be included in the differential diagnosis of adult intussusception. IFPs have no malignant potential, and surgical resection is curative.
