A Rare Cause of Colonic Obstruction: Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp.

Only 5% of all cases of intussusceptions occur in adults. Although it is known to occur frequently due to inflammatory bowel disease, postoperative adhesions, or neoplastic masses, inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFP), which are rare lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, may present this clinical picture. In rare cases of intussusception due to IFP, clinical suspicion should be kept in the foreground and mind in the differential diagnosis. In this article, the purpose was to present the clinical, radiological, and pathological findings and the treatment of obstruction caused by this rare lesion. Copyright © 2022, Dagistanli et al.
