Core Tip	An inflammatory fibrotic polyp (IFP) of the gastrointestinal tract is generally considered benign and noninvasive. An IFP in the duodenum is very rare. Here we report the case of a mass in the duodenal bulb involving the pylorus. Based on imaging and endoscopic findings, a duodenal stromal tumor was considered. The patient underwent surgery, with a pathologic diagnosis of duodenal IFP and tumor invasion of the subserosa, which indicated that IFP is also specifically invasive. Due to the special location of duodenal IFP, accurate diagnosis should be made so as to avoid excessive surgical treatment.
