Abstract
Inflammatory fibroid polyp of jejunum is a very rare nonneoplastic lesion of gastrointestinal tract. We reported a 66-year-old male who presented with abdominal fullness, colicky pain, and vomiting for 4 days. Plain abdomen showed intestinal obstruction with dilated small bowel loops. The exploratory laparotomy was performed under the clinical impression of intussusception caused by small bowel tumor. The diagnosis of an inflammatory fibroid polyp causing jejunojejunal intussusception was confirmed after surgery.
