“…There have been uncommon documented cases of transpyloric prolapse of pedunculated gastric tumors. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Most of them were benign tumors such as lipoma and inflammatory fibroid polyps. 6,[8][9][10] In this case, gastroduodenal intussusception secondary to mobile leading gastric carcinoma that prolapsed into the duodenum was found on sonography for long-standing and intermittent symptoms of pyloric stenosis.…”

“…There has been no other evidence thus far of a possible genetic link. In addition, it has been hypothesized that there is an allergic element to the development of these lesions due to their eosinophilic nature, yet this has not been widely accepted, as there is no accompanying peripheral eosinophilia [6,10]. In their recent analysis of the current literature, Mucientes et al found that dendritic, neural, fibroblastic, myofibroblastic, histiocytic, and vascular cells have all been suggested by various authors as cell types to originate inflammatory fibroid polyps [11].…”

“…Patients may complain of non-specific abdominal or epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, or melena, secondary to gastrointestinal bleeding from ulceration [10,12]. In their 1-year national study of 120,000 patients with gastric polyps, Carmack et al found that the median age at diagnosis was 61 years and the most common presenting symptoms were dyspepsia (37.5%), anemia (25%), and gastroesophageal reflux (14.3%) [13].…”

Inflammatory Fibroid Polyps are uncommon sessile or pedunculated polyploid masses that have been estimated to account for roughly one percent of all gastric polyps. They have been reported throughout the gastrointestinal tract in locations including the stomach, small bowel, colon, and esophagus. We present a rare case of an inflammatory fibroid polyp of the gastric antrum in a 57 yearold patient presenting with occult anemia, which was successfully treated with surgical resection. The diagnosis of an inflammatory fibroid polyp is a difficult one, as clinical presentation is usually non-specific and endoscopy with biopsy specimens may not be sufficient to allow for a histological diagnosis. Diagnosis is best established with immunohistochemistry of the excised tumor. Inflammatory fibroid polyps are positive for CD34, PDGFR-alpha, and vimentin, and are negative for CD-117, and S-100, among others. Once diagnosed, the definitive treatment for inflammatory fibroid polyps is excision. The anatomic location and size of the polyp determine whether the procedure is open or endoscopic. Inflammatory fibroid polyps have not been found to recur after excision, nor have additional polyps been found to develop.

“…9 Most of them were benign tumors such as lipoma and inflammatory fibroid polyps. 10 In adults, pyloric stenosis is caused by gastric or duodenal diseases such as peptic ulcers and gastric carcinoma. Although pedunculated gastric tumors are usually benign and infrequently adenocarcinoma, they have a tendency of malignancy when they are larger than 2 cm in diameter.…”

Gastro-Intestinal Stromal Tumour presenting as Gastroduodenal Intussusception

et al. 2014

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs), are relatively common tumours of the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly found in the stomach. Previously they were termed as leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas. Clinically, they are asymptomatic but may cause abdominal pain or bleeding from ulceration of the overlying mucosa. We present a case of gastroduodenal intussusception secondary to large gastric stromal tumour in a 50 year old male, which presented with intermittent abdominal pain and gastric outlet obstruction. Preoperative diagnosis was made on abdominal CT and confirmed at laparotomy.
