Inflammatory fibroid polyp(IFP) is a rare,idiopathic pseudotumorous lesion of the gastrointestinal tract.While mostly reported as solitary gastric lesions,multiple cases of small bowel IFPs are also reported.It is a documented cause of intussusception in adults.In the case reports of ileal inflammatory fibroid polyps with intussusception,an emergent presentation with small bowel obstruction has been most often described.Here we depict a case of ileal inflammatory fibroid polyp presenting with chronic intermittent ileocolic intussusception,anemia and weight loss with an endoscopic appearance mimicking necrotic cecal carcinoma.
