Ileo-ileal intussusception in adult caused by Vanek’s tumor: a report of five cases

چکیده
Inflammatory fibroid polyps are rare, non-neoplasic lesions that originate in the sub mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. They were first described in the stomach by Vanek, in 1949. The aetiology of IFP is unknown. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for this disease.

We report five cases of ileo-ileal intussusception in adult caused by Vanek’s tumor.
