    Abstract

    Inflammatory fibroid polyps are uncommon but well documented as solitary polyps occurring typically in the stomach or ileum. A Devon family has previously been reported in which a female in three successive generations has presented with multiple polyps requiring repeated surgery over a number of years. A further two female family members, both siblings from the 3rd generation, who required surgery for the same condition are now reported.
