“…The polyps are usually solitary, and although most commonly detected in adults they can be found in all age groups [6]. IFPs are most commonly located in the gastric antrum followed by the small bowel and rarely the esophagus and colon [7]. Endoscopically IFP is a smooth sessile or pedunculated polyp.…”

“…IFP is generally regarded as a benign polyp with no malignant potential and a low recurrence rate. The main clinical features of colonic IFPs are abdominal pain (54%), bloody stools (33%), weight loss (21%), diarrhea and anemia (17%) [7]. Occasionally, large colonic IFPs may cause various complications such as intestinal obstruction and intussusception [5].…”

Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a rare benign polypoid lesion of the gastrointestinal tract. Most IFPs occur in the stomach and colonic occurrence is very rare. Histologically IFP is characterized by a mixture of numerous small vessels, fibroblasts and edematous connective tissue associated with marked inflammatory infiltration by eosinophils. We present a rare case of a pedunculated IFP in the hepatic flexure of the colon treated successfully with a combination of argon plasma coagulation, endoclipping and polypectomy. A 74-year-old asymptomatic female underwent a screening colonoscopy in our hospital. A 12-mm pedunculated polyp was found at the hepatic flexure of the colon. After saline injection, we attempted to remove the polyp with a hot snare. However the polyp stalk was extremely difficult to resect despite several attempts with the hot snare. We placed an endoclip at the base of the stalk and then applied argon plasma coagulation at 1.0 l/min and 40 W. After these measures we were able to resect the stalk and the polyp was retrieved. Histologically the polyp was located in the submucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. Proliferation of spindle cells and infiltration of inflammatory cells such as plasma cells and eosinophils were observed. The spindle cells were positive for CD34 and S100 but negative for c-kit and muscle markers. These findings are consistent with a histopathological diagnosis of IFP.

“…Microscopically, IFP shows the cellular proliferation possibly originating from the submucosa, and is composed of a fibrous and edematous stroma containing many variable-sized blood vessels, spindle cells and diffuse inflammatory cells infiltrate, including eosionphils, plasma cells, lymphocytes, macreophages, and mast cells 1-9,11,12. In immunohistochemistry for CD34, S100, c-kit, Bcl-2, and p53, spindle cells of polyp often are stained with CD34 or S100 antibodies but do not react to c-kit, or Bcl-2, or p53 antibodies 4,5.…”

“…These benign pseudotumors continue to grow until they cause symptoms related to bleeding or obstruction. Surgical intervention is usually required for most symptomatic IFP's due to their large size and submucosal involvement 7-9. There has not been, to the best of our knowledge, a case reported previously in which the large colonic IFP was treated with needle knife assisted endoscopic polypectomy.…”

Needle Knife-assisted Endoscopic Polypectomy for a Large Inflammatory Fibroid Colon Polyp by Making Its Stalk into an Omega Shape Using an Endoloop

Colonic inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is an uncommon benign polypoid lesion, which is composed of fibroblasts, numerous small vessels and edematous connective tissue with marked eosinophilic inflammatory cell infiltration. This condition is frequently detected in the stomach and small intestine, but uncommon in the colon. Although IFP is a benign lesion, surgical resections are performed in most colonic cases because the polyps are usually too large to resect endoscopically. Only three patients underwent endoscopic polypectomy in our literature reviews. Here, we present a case of IFP in the descending colon successful endoscopically resected using a novel technique of trapping its stalk with an endoloop, forming the stalk into an omega shape, and then dissecting the stalk with a needle knife.

“…It is slightly more common in women (female:male ratio 1.6:1) [3]. It can be encountered in all age group but peak incidence is between sixth and seventh decades [4]. IFP originates from submucosa and grows as a solitary polypoid or sessile mass which may macroscopically mimic gastric cancer.…”

A Rare Combination of Gastric Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp and Hiatal Hernia

Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a rare solitary gastrointestinal lesion of unknown etiology. It generally presents as polypoid mass in the gastric antrum. Mostly affects adults at average age of 60 years. IFP can cause different symptoms such as abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, intestinal obstruction or intussusception. IFP is a bening lesion and it may rarely mimic the submucosal tumor. The diagnosis can be possible after removal of the detected lession either by laparoscopic or open approach. In the present paper, we report a patient with gastric IFP and hiatal hernia. IFP was excised throughout the gastrotomy and following hiatal hernia was repaired. According to our best knowledge, this may be the first case report of gastric IFP concomitance with a hiatal hernia.
