Sumario:BACKGROUND: Inflammatory fibroid polyp of the oesophagus is an uncommon lesion and very rarely it grows rapidly. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a patient with a rapidly growing inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) of the oesophagus, which showed up within five months after a normal endoscopy. CONCLUSION: The treatment of IFP is by surgical excision, either open or endoscopic. Laser or other form of ablative treatment like thermo cautery can also be tried.
