Summary

A case of inflammatory fibroid polyp of the rectum in an 8 years old boy is reported. This lesion is not infrequently found in the gastro-intestinal tract, is very rare in childhood and has never been reported in the rectum.

The pathogenetical hypotesis that fibroid represents a dynamic response to recurrent small injuries with possible different histological patterns is prospected.
