Core Tip	This is believed to be the first study analyzing the endoscopic ultrasonographic (EUS) manifestations of gastric inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFPs) at different pathological stages. It was found that echogenicity level and echo homogeneity were significantly correlated with the pathological stage of gastric IFPs. Nodular stage gastric IFPs presented hypoechoic and homogeneous echo. Fibrovascular stage gastric IFPs mostly showed medium-low echo and homogeneous echo. Sclerotic stage showed different echogenicity levels and echo homogeneity. The accuracy of EUS in diagnosing gastric IFPs was 66.0%, and the accuracy in determining the origin layer of gastric IFPs was 73.4%.
