Abstract

An inflammatory fibroid polyp is a rare benign tumor that can arise throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Most cases are observed in the stomach or ileum, and more rarely in the appendix (< 1%). We report on a case of an inflammatory fibroid polyp of the appendix.

소화기계에 발생한 염증성 섬유성 용종은 드물게 보고되는 양성질환으로 소화관 내 어디서든 생길 수 있으며 주로 위와 회장에 많이 생기나 충수에서도 매우 드물게 생길 수 있다(< 1%). 저자들은 충수에서 발견된 염증성 섬유성 용종 1예를 증례 보고하고자 한다.
