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.
