description Inflammatory fibroid polyps are uncommon benign lesions that originate in the submucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. The stomach and the ileum are the most commonly affected sites.

We present one case of inflammatory fibroid polyp as a rare cause of intussusception in a young adult patient.
