Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a mesenchymal neoplasm of intermediate biological potential and could occur at any anatomical site from the central nervous system to gastrointestinal tract. IMT of the lung is a relatively uncommon condition, with a reported incidence between 0.04 1.2% of all tumors of the lung. A 26-year woman was admitted to our hospital with complaint of irritatin...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) were previously included in the "inflammatory pseudotumors" family, but have emerged as a distinct entity recently. The management of IMT may be challenging due to its intermediate malignant potential. We present a case of a young patient with an asymptomatic retroperitoneal mass with some imaging findings that could point to the IMT diagnosis pre-opera...

The inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is more commonly found in the lungs. The paranasal sinuses and the orbit are the most affected areas in the head and neck; the laryngeal presentation is extremely rare, and only about 15 cases have been described in the literature. We report the clinical findings of a case of laryngeal IMT that was seen at the otorhinolaryngology unit of a university...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare benign lesion found in many locations throughout the body and genitourinary tract. Endoscopically and radiographically, these solid lesions cannot be distinguished from malignant bladder tumors. We present the case of a 21-year-old woman who presented with painful obstructive and irritative voiding symptoms of short duration. After extensive pr...

SUMMARY Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) comprise a rare group of lesions characterized histologically by acute and chronic inflammatory cells with a variable degree of fibrous stroma. Occurrence in the extracranial head and neck in children is unusual, and involvement in the pterygopalatine fossa has not, to our knowledge, been reported as occurring in this age group. We present the C...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are rare neoplasms that can involve the airway. Recent studies have shown their malignant behavior with local recurrence and potential metastatic spread; half of the cases are associated with anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene rearrangement. Complete surgical resection is recommended, when feasible. We present a case of a 26-year-old woman admitted to our...

A 17 year old so far healthy young man presented with upper abdominal pain. Imaging with sonography, MRT and PET-CT demonstrated three solid mass in the duodenal mesentery, pancreatic corpus and tail and on the upper pole of the left kidney. Open biopsy of the mesenterial mass revealed an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor which was ALK-1 negative. Chemotherapy with vincristine, actinomycin D a...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of lung is a rare benign malignancy of lung [1]. It histology is varied, there is combination of stromal, myoepithelial and fibrous histiocytes and plasma cells on microscopy. The incidence is rare and accounts for about 0.04-1% of all lung tumors [2]. It is most commonly seen in young adults though rare in patients above 60 years of age. The commonest p...

An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare disease entity reported to arise in various organs. It is thought to be a neoplastic or reactive inflammatory condition, controversially. The treatment of choice for myofibroblastic tumor is surgery, and recurrence is known to be rare. The optimal treatment method is not well-known for patients ineligible for surgery. We report a 47-year-old...

Cardiac inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare entity and is associated with distinct clinical, pathological and molecular features. The clinical behavior, natural history, biological potential, management and prognosis of such tumors are unclear. We present herewith an adolescent girl who presented with similar entity involving the junction of the right atrium and the inferior vena...
