| Popis: | Inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFP) are solitary benign tumors rarely found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Additionally, duodenal polyps are diagnosed incidentally. We present a case of a 51-year-old female admitted to the department with an initial diagnosis of duodenal polyp on gastroscopy, CT, and positron-emission tomography (PET). COVID-19 pandemics was the reason for delayed treatment which allowed the lesion to progress and almost double its size in an eight-month period. We performed conventional duodenotomy and excision of the polyp. Diseases like gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, and inflammatory polyp of Crohn’s disease must be considered in the differential diagnosis of IFP because they could be observed in the same location. |
