A 32 year old female was admitted to our hospital complaining of left lower abdominal pain. Barium enema-study and Colonoscopic examination showed a walnut sized thinly coated granular surfaced elevated lesion with partial reddening in the sigmoid colen. Biopsy studies gave no worthy information. On the 2nd and 5th hospital day, intussuscep-tion had occurred prolapse of the tumor from the anus was recognized. Submucosel tumor was suspected, and sigmoidectomy was performed. Histological finding showed a inflam-matory fibroid polyp. Fibromuscular obliteration was recognized at the surrounding mucosa of the base of the polyp. Only 7 cases was reported in the literatures in Japan including our case.
