A Rare Case of Adult Intussusception Caused By Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Intussusception is a relatively rare cause of intestinal obstruction in adult patients. Adult invagination is mostly caused by benign tumours. Intussusceptions caused by inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFPs) are uncommon. IFPs (Vanek’s tumour) are benign tumour masses occurring in stomach, small intestine and less commonly, large intestine. They can occur at any age & are not related to any medical condition or syndromes.
