Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of Urinary Bladder
نویسنده
چکیده
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an uncommon benign tumor of intermediate neoplastic potential, characterised by spindle cell proliferation with characteristic fibroinflammatory and pseudosarcomatous appearance. A subset of IMT with histologic atypia and/or clinical aggressiveness is also known. IMTs occur in the mesentery, omentum, retroperitoneum, pelvis, and abdominal soft tissues. However, the occurrence of IMT in urinary bladder is unusual. IMT exhibits morphologic and immunophenotypic overlap with malignant spindle cell tumors of the urinary bladder and is diagnostically challenging. In the case presented, ALK-1 and SMA immunostains helped to identify IMT. Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) gene translocation or ALK gene expression can further confirm IMT. Complete surgical excision with follow-up is the treatment of choice for IMT.

Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of the Urinary Bladder Managed by Laparoscopic Partial Cystectomy
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the urinary bladder is a rare mesenchymal tumor with uncertain malignant potential. It often mimics soft tissue sarcomas both clinically and radiologically. Surgical resection in the form of partial cystectomy or transurethral resection remains the mainstay of treatment. Herein we report the case of an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in a young girl, whi...
متن کاملInflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the urinary bladder: report of a case and review of literature
We present a case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the urinary bladder. A 15-year-old boy with no previous history of malignancy presented to our hospital with hematuria, frequent micturition and urgent urination for two weeks; on contrast enhanced CT scan of the pelvis, we found a bladder tumor. Immunohistochemitry and fluorescent in situ hybridization confirmed the diagnosis. The pati...
متن کاملRobot-assisted Partial Cystectomy for Treatment of Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of the Bladder
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors rarely occur in the urinary bladder. These masses follow an indolent course, but due to their histologic similarities to more malignant types of bladder masses, they must be differentiated with immunohistochemical staining. Once diagnosed, the mainstay of treatment for these masses is surgical resection. Due to advancements in robotic surgery, new surgical te...
متن کاملDiagnosing and Treating Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of the Bladder
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an uncommon condition that is rarely encountered in the urinary tract. In this report, we present a case of IMT of the bladder in a woman with multiple previous pelvic surgeries. We further review the relevant literature to highlight this rare but important clinical presentation.
متن کاملInflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of the Urinary Bladder with Benign Pelvic Lymph Node Enlargement: A Case Report
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) rarely occur in the urinary bladder. It is apparently difficult to distinguish these tumors from other malignant spindle cell proliferations. Herein, we report a case of IMT of the urinary bladder with enlarged pelvic lymph nodes. The definitive pathological diagnosis could not be established by biopsy. Instead, the diagnosis of IMT of the urinary blad...

This case report describes an inflammatory tumor of the urinary bladder along with left renal cell carcinoma which occurred in a 73-year-old male with a narrowed orificium urethrae internum and severe hyperplasia of the prostate gland. A biopsy was not obtained prior to surgery. An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the urinary bladder is a rare benign lesion, particularly in the elder...
