Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a rare, usually solitary and intraluminal polypoid benign tumour that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Its aetiology is unknown and clinical presentation depends on the site of involvement. We present the case of a 12-month-old girl with IFP and review all reported cases of IFP in children and adolescents <18 years. A 12-month-old girl presented with rectal bleeding. The patient underwent colonoscopy which revealed an anus polyp. Surgical resection was performed and histopathological examination of the specimen showed features of IFP. A literature review of 20 cases (including ours) between 1966 and January 2022 is also presented. To our knowledge, this is the youngest reported patient with IFP and the first in the anal area.
炎性纤维息肉(IFP)是一种罕见的、通常为单发的腔内息肉样良性肿瘤,可影响胃肠道(GI)的任何部位。其病因不明,临床表现取决于受累部位。我们报告了一例 12 个月大的女孩患有 IFP,并回顾了所有报道的 18 岁以下儿童和青少年 IFP 病例。一名 12 个月大的女孩出现直肠出血。患者接受了结肠镜检查,显示肛门有息肉。进行了手术切除,标本的组织病理学检查显示为 IFP 的特征。还对 1966 年至 2022 年 1 月间的 20 例病例(包括我们的病例)进行了文献回顾。据我们所知,这是报道的患有 IFP 的最年轻的患者,也是首例发生在肛门区域的 IFP。
