in gastrointestinal tract ; most commonly in stomach followed by ileum and rarely in colon ,duodenum
and oesophagus. Polyps in ileum most commonly present with acute intestinal obstruction as
aresult of intussusception. The lesions are characterized by variable proliferation of fibroblasts and
small vessels which may involve the whole thickness of the bowel wall .Mast cells and Eosinophils
are also seen in the polyp.
