The first case of an inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) of the small intestine in a Japanese infant, one-year-old boy, is reported. This is the 10th and the youngest case of an IFP of gastrointestinal tract among 10 patients less than 15 years of age reported in English or Japanese literature. In this case, an exploratory laparotomy following the frequent recurrence of intussusception led to the diagnosis of an IFP of the ileum. IFPs of the gastrointestinal tract are rare. They are mostly found in the stomach, and have occasionally been reported in the small intestine and colon. The majority of IFPs have been found in adult patients more than 45 years of age, and very few in children. IFPs of the small intestine are found mostly, as in our patient, following recurrent intussusception. IFPs are benign and recurrence is rare. The etiology of IFP still remains unknown.
