MR Findings of Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of the Thigh: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
ically benign mass that is characterized by a variably cellular, spindle cell proliferation in a myxoid to collagenous stroma with a prominent inflammatory infiltrate that is primarily composed of plasma cells and lymphocytes, with occasionally admixed eosinophils and neutrophils (1). Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor most commonly involves the lung and the orbit, but it has been reported to occur in nearly every part of the body, from the central nervous system to the gastrointestinal tract (2). To the best of our knowledge, the MR imaging of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor located in the intermuscular portion of the thigh has not been previously reported in the English medical literature. Therefore, we present an extremely rare case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor that originated in the thigh.
