We report a rare case of inflammatory fibroid polyp of the stomach that mimicked gastric cancer. A review of the associated literature is also reported. A 32 year old woman was admitted to our hospital with a history of vomiting and epigastric pain and a weight loss of 10 kg in one month. A radiologic and an endoscopic examination showed a protruding tumor, with diffuse ulceration at the posterior wall of the prepyloric antrum of stomach. Although no malignant cells were histologically confirmed in the biopsy specimens, a subtotal gastrectomy, with a lymphoadenectomy, was performed because gastric cancer was suspected, preoperatively. The histopathological diagnosis was an inflammatory fibroid polyp of the stomach. If a submucosal tumor of the stomach is suspected in a preoperative diagnosis, an inflammatory fibroid polyp should be considered as one of the possible differential diagnoses.
