TODO - This is a case report of a 57-year-old woman who presented with
abdominal pain and vomiting over a period of two months. Upper
gastrointestinal endoscopies and biopsies were inconclusive, while
abdomen computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a large mass arising from
the pyloric antrum measuring about 6x4.8cm imitating gastrointestinal
stromal tumor (GIST). The patient underwent a laparotomy, and the tumor
was totally resected with well-defined borders. The histopathological
analysis revealed the mass to be an inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP).
