Small\u2010bowel IFP usually presents with intussusception. The purpose of the current study is to describe cytological features of this lesion with differential diagnoses since pathologists may be called on to render a diagnosis on fine\u2010needle aspiration. Two cases of IFP are described with diagnostic features on imprint smears. Both were middle\u2010aged obese women with a history of prior intra\u2010abdominal surgical procedures who presented with signs of intestinal obstruction and were found to have a tumor causing intussuscption. At intraoperative consult, scrape cytology specimens showed cellular smears with a heterogeneous population of myofibroblasts, inflammatory cells and vessels. The features together with clinical history are sufficient to suggest the diagnosis. IFP is a lesion with a characteristic morphology. The differential diagnosis includes several other lesions, hence triage of cytological specimen for culture, electron microscopy, and immunohistochemistry is important in facilitating a correct diagnosis. Although a surgical procedure may still be necessary once a diagnosis of IFP is made, treatment may be tailored for a less aggressive process. Diagn.
