Inflammatory fibroid polyp (Vanëk's tumor) is a very rare neoplasm remaining diagnostically challenging for clinicians and pathologists. Here we discuss clinical and morphological aspects of this process at gastrointestinal tract, based on own observations and in comparison with literature. Touch on a topic of molecular pathogenesis and evolution of views on taxonomy of these lesions. Particular part spared on differential diagnosis with clinically-morphologically mimicking entities arising throughout the gastrointestinal tract.

Noxious Stimuli

Inflammatory fibroid polyps are believed to occur in response to local noxious stimuli. They are uncommon benign but well documented solitary polypoid lesions occurring in gastrointestinal tract; most commonly in stomach. A rare entities of two adult intussusceptions due to inflammatory fibroid polyp in ileum has been reported in this article.

Inflammatory fibroid polyps are uncommon benign lesions that originate in the submucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. The stomach and the ileum are the most commonly affected sites. Although inflammatory fibroid polyp is one of the rare conditions leading to intestinal obstruction in adults, it should be considered as a possible diagnosis in obstructive tumors of the small bowel causing intussusceptions. We present one case of inflammatory fibroid polyp as a rare cause of intussusception in a young adult patient.

Inflammatory fibroid polyps are uncommon; moreover, that polyp causing secondary intussusception in an adult are still rarer. Here, we report a case of inflammatory fibroid polyp of the small bowel that presented as just vague pain in the abdomen in a 48-year-old woman. Even though investigations reported Ileo-ileal intussusception caused by a polyp, the patient did not have clinical symptoms that could be correlated. The rareness of the disease made it a clinical challenge to subject the patient to laparotomy. The rareness of non-neoplastic condition being the cause for adult ileo-ileal intussusception and the clinical challenge associated with it makes it a case worth reporting.

The inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a benign lesion occurring in the digestive tract, mostly in the stomach and small bowel, composed of fibrovascular tissue infiltrated by inflammatory cells including eosinophils and mastocytes. Its pathogenesis has been controversial (reactive versus neoplastic). The recent finding of mutations in platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRA) in most gastric and small intestinal IFPs supported their neoplastic etiology, moreover helping in their differential diagnosis. In the only gallbladder IFP reported so far, the diagnosis was based on morphologic and immunohistochemical grounds, which in current standards would probably be considered not fully conclusive. Conversely, the gallbladder IFP we report shows typical pathologic features supported by a PDGFRA mutation, similar to its usual gastric and small intestinal counterparts, constituting the first report of an unequivocal IFP at gallbladder level. Thus, IFPs must be considered in the differential diagnosis of gallbladder mesenchymal masses, and genetic analysis of PDGFRA is a helpful tool for this purpose.

AbstractInflammatory fibroid polyps (IFPs) tend to occur in the gastrointestinal tract, and they are rare and benign neoplasms. In general, IFPs often come from epithelial tissue. The gastric antrum is the most common location. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) often shows a predominantly hypoechoic mass with well-defined borders originating from the submucosal area. Here, we report the case of a 46-year-old woman with abdominal pain who underwent computed tomography (CT), endoscopic ultrasound and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of resected specimens; the diagnosis was ultimately an inflammatory fibroid polyp. She is currently in clinical remission.

Inflammatory fibroid polyp is a neoplastic condition affecting the gastrointestinal tract and particularly the gastric antrum. It is virtually a benign submucosal mass comprising mesenchymal cells and numerous small blood vessels with inflammatory cells and commonly eosinophils. Patients with inflammatory fibroid polyps usually present clinically with mechanical intestinal obstruction with or without intussusception. Herein, we present a case of a 48-year-old male with a known history of schizophrenia who presented with mechanical intestinal obstruction following intussusception due to inflammatory fibroid polyp involving the proximal jejunojejunal part of the jejunum.
