Diagnosis in short | |
Inflammatory fibroid polyp. H&E stain. | |
| |
LM | proliferating spindle cells - loosely arranged round blood vessels with perivascular hypocellular zones, eosinophils (usually prominent), +/-leiomyoma/schwannoma-like areas - with nuclear palisading |
LM DDx | inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour, GIST, hemangiopericytoma, eosinophilic gastritis, schwannoma |
IHC | CD34 +ve, vimentin +ve, CD117 -ve, S-100 -ve |
Molecular | +/-PDGFRA mutations |
Site | stomach, other places in the GI tract |

Prevalence | uncommon |
Prognosis | good - benign |
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]
- Uncommon.
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.
- +/-Myxoid stroma.[4]
Notes:
- Concentric = share the same centre.[5]
DDx:[6]
- Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour.
- GIST - usually sharply demarcated border.
- Hemangiopericytoma.
- Eosinophilic gastritis.
Images
IHC
Features:[2]
- CD34 +ve.
- There is a CD34 -ve variant.
- Vimentin +ve -- diffuse.[7]
Others:
Molecular
- A subset have mutations in PDGFRA.[2]
