Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours: a pictorial review
OBJECTIVES To present the most important characteristics of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMTs) arising in different locations of the body with histological correlation. METHODS To review the symptoms and main radiological findings of IMTs. On ultrasonography (US), these tumours can appear as hypoechoic or hyperechoic masses and a variable Doppler appearance with increased vascularity...
متن کاملInflammatory myofibroblastic tumours of the maxillary sinus: A brief clinical report and review of the literature.
Although inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMTs) have been accepted as a clonal neoplasm, their pathology is poorly understood due to variable presentation. There is no identifiable cause and they are usually observed as tumour growth combined with inflammation. In the current WHO classification, IMTs are designated as intermediate malignancies. In terms of biological potential, IMTs are cl...
متن کاملPictorial review: Unusual tumours involving the prostate: radiological-pathological findings.
The appearance of several unusual tumours in the prostate has resulted in questions being raised concerning their histogenesis; moreover, some of these tumours have prognoses that are quite unlike those of prostatic adenocarcinoma. Unusual neoplasms involving the prostate have been described in recent years, including mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine cancer, lymphoma, spindle cell ne...
متن کاملPaediatric intra-axial posterior fossa tumours: pictorial review.
Paediatric brain tumours commonly arise in the posterior cranial fossa. Early diagnosis is often challenging due to initial non-specific clinical symptoms, especially in very young children. The typical MR features of tumours in this region including medulloblastoma, ependymoma, juvenile pilocytic subtype of cerebellar astrocytoma, brain stem glioma and atypical teratoid-rhabdoid tumour are ill...
متن کاملMaxillary Sinus Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumors: A Review and Case Report
An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an immunohistochemically diverse entity demonstrating neoplastic and nonneoplastic qualities. Although IMTs can arise in any area of the body, lesions arising in certain sites, namely, the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and pterygopalatine fossa, demonstrate a heightened neoplastic and invasive potential. Despite case specific complete tumor regr...
