Adult intussusception caused by an inflammatory fibroid ileal polyp.

Background: Inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFPs) are rare benign lesions of uncertain origin that may occur in various parts of the gastrointestinal tract that originate from the sub mucosa located in different sites of the digestive tract. They are commonly located in the stomach and small bowel. It is one of the probable diagnoses that should be considered in obstructive tumors of the small intestine causing invagination.

Internal hernias, including paraduodenal (traditionally the most common), pericecal, foramen of Winslow, and intersigmoid hernias, account for approximately 0.5-5.8% of all cases of intestinal obstruction and are associated with a high mortality rate, exceeding 50% in some series.
