This paper presents a case report of an inflammatory fibroid polyp found in the ileum of a 86-years-old female who was operated on under emergency conditions in "Joaquín Albarrán" Clinical and Surgical Hospital, City of Havana. The pre-operatory diagnosis had been intestinal occlusion caused by adhesion. The scanning laparotomy allowed finding an invaginated tumor in the ileum, 20 cm far from the ileocecal valve. The reported anatomopathological diagnosis was inflammatory fibroid polyp. Information was searched on the clinical and pathological aspects of this case.
