Abstract:
Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is an uncommon benign tumor and a proliferative disease localized to the submucosal area of the gastrointestinal tract. IFP has been detected more frequently with the increasing use of endoscopy. Histologically, gastric IFP is mostly limited to the submucosa, rarely invading the muscle layer. However, we experienced a case of gastric IFP invading the proper muscle layer. A 62-year-old man was referred for evaluation of epigastric pain. Contrast enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen and endoscopic examination revealed a stomach mass. IFP was histologically confirmed by surgical resection, and the patient was discharged without complication. IFP originating in the stomach that invades the muscularis propria is rare compared to that originating in the large or small intestine. The incidence of gastric IFP is relatively low. Invasion of the muscularis propria by IFP depends not only on the location but also the size of the IFP. There have been no published reports on the outcomes of gastric IFP invading the muscularis propria, therefore close follow-up of the present patient is important.
