An inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a rare benign submucosal gastro-intestinal lesion with an uncertain origin and natural history. An IFP was first described in the stomach and is rare in the duodenum. Presenting signs and symptoms vary according to anatomical site. This systematic literature review was prompted by the recent presentation of a patient with biliary obstruction caused by a duodenal IFP.
