Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of Urinary Bladder: Case Presentation and Review of Literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most primary bladder tumors in children are predominantly malignant mesenchymal tumors, usually rhabdomyosarcoma. Several uncommon non-urothelial bladder tumors have been described and must be differentiated from sarcomatoid carcinoma. These include postoperative spindle cell nodule, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, leiomyoma, hemangioma and neurofibromas. IMT usually affects adolescents. The main presenting symptom is painless gross hematuria. The tumor is usually exophytic on cystoscopy and enhances on CT scan. On pathology, it has heterogeneous microscopic features but invariably has spindle cells.

متن کاملInflammatory 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...
