Abstract
- Inflammatory fibroid polyp is a rare benign tumor of the digestive t ract. The authors report three cases: two intestinal and one gastric. These cases are of particular interest because of the association ill one case of an intestinal submucosal lipoma with the inflammatory fibr oid polyp, and the existence in the gastric case of an inflammatory re action caused by food debris. This offers further evidence in support of the theory implicating a chronic inflammatory reaction.
