Abstract:
We report the case of a 54-year-old Iranian man who presented with melena from three months prior to admission. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy were normal. Double balloon enteroscopy showed a pedunculated tumor located in the jejunum. He underwent laparotomy and resection of a 9.5 cm tumor from the distal jejunum. Histopathologic evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of an inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP).
