Abstract

The gastric inflammatory fibroid polyp is a rare clinical-pathological entity, representing an incidence of 0.1% of all gastric polyps. It most frequently affects adults in a wide age range, and its incidence peak is between the sixth and eventh decades of life. The lesions remain predominantly  symptomatic and are detected incidentally on endoscopy or imaging for unrelated causes. Occasionally, fibroid polyps cause symptoms due to their large size causing gastric outlet obstruction, or due to mucosal erosion presenting with overt or occult upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
