Abstract:
Inflammatory fibroid polyp is a rare polypoid lesion of the gastrointestinal tract, histologically characterized by an admixture of numerous small blood vessels, fibroblasts and edematous connective tissue, accompanying a marked inflammatory cell infiltrate which contains eosinophils. Although it generally presents as a polypoid mass in the gastric antrum, it can be seen throughout the gastrointestinal tract. It is believed to represent a reactive, nonneoplastic condition, but its histogenesis remains controversial. A case of inflammatory fibroid polyp of the ileum presenting clinically as intestinal obstruction due to intussusception is presented here.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
