Pyloric Obstruction Caused by an Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp

الملخص EN

This is a case report of a 57-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain and vomiting over a period of two months.

Upper gastrointestinal endoscopies and biopsies were inconclusive, while abdomen computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a large mass arising from the pyloric antrum measuring about 6×4.8 cm imitating gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).

The patient underwent a laparotomy, and the tumor was totally resected with well-defined borders.

The histopathological analysis revealed the mass to be an inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP).
