Inflammatory fibroid polyp, abbreviated IFP, is an uncommon gastrointestinal polyp.
General
- Benign.
- Through-out GI tract.
- Can be thought of as granulation tissue-like.[1]
Microscopic
Features:[2]
- Proliferating spindle cells (fibroid) - key feature.
- Inflammation:
- Eosinophils - often prominent.
- +/-Leiomyoma/schwannoma-like areas - with nuclear palisading.[1]
- +/-Vascular for fibrous tissue.
- Poorly circumscribed/infiltrates into the lamina propria.
DDx:
- Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour.
- GIST - usually sharply demarcated border.
Notes:
- Concentric = share the same centre.[4]

IHC
Features:[2]
- CD34 +ve.
- There is a CD34 -ve variant.
- Vimentin +ve -- diffuse.[5]
Others:
- CD117 -ve.[6]
- S100 -ve.
Molecular
- A subset have mutations in PDGFRA.[2]
