Abstract:
Inflammatory fibroid polyp(IFP), a localized non-neoplastic growth of the digestive wall, is a rare diseaseand arising from the deep mucosa and submucosa of the gut wall. It is not a true neoplastic tumor; forconve-nience, however, it is referred to as a submucosal tumor. Although the exact pathogenesis of an IFP isun-known, it thought to result from a reactive process rather than a neoplasm. We report the radiologic findingsof IFP of the stomach, demonstrating histopathologic correlation.
