Célia S. J. Fazzio; Eveline B. MadeiraJ. Bras. Patol. Med. Lab. 2015;51(2):117-120DOI:10.5935/1676-2444.20150021 ABSTRACT Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a benign uncommon lesion (1%-4% of gastric benign lesions), originated from the submucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. Its origin is controversial and immunohistochemical studies of lesions have largely refuted the possible vascular, neural or smooth muscle origin.
