INTRODUCTION Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in the respiratory system is a rare and controversial disease. It is macroscopically well-circumscribed, non-encapsulated, firm and usually a yellowish-white mass. Histologically it is composed of the following spindled and inflammatory cells: lymphocytes, plasma cells, and histiocytes, including Touton type multinucleated giant cells. CASE OUTL...

Endobronchial inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare primary lung disease. A 39-year-old woman with dyspnea and a productive cough underwent complete surgical resection of a small-sized inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor that invaded the left main bronchus and the carina with lung-saving modified left one-stoma-type carinoplasty. We report this case with a review of literature.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare benign tumor that affects most commonly children and young adults. In the lung, it comprises less than 1% of all neoplasms. The authors describe the clinical, radiological, and pathologic features of 2 cases of incidentally discovered pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors.

inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is an uncommon benign neoplasm and its presentation in small bowel is rare. due to clinical manifestation, laboratory data and radiologic results, there is an increased risk of over diagnosis as malignant tumors particularly malignant lymphoma in childhood therefore may be resulting in wrong therapeutic approach. however pathologic findings could be demonstrat...

BACKGROUND Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a histopathologically distinctive neoplasm of children and young adults. According to World Health Organization (WHO) classification, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is an intermediate-grade tumor, with potential for recurrence and rare metastasis. There are no definite histopathologic, molecular, or cytogenetic features to predict malignant t...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) is a rare scleroinflammatory lesion, characterized by a myofibroblastic proliferation with inflammatory infiltrates, with many possible locations and diagnosis based on immunohistochemistry. Pleural IMT is uncommon and is usually an extension of a pulmonary involvement. We report on a 28-year-old woman with a new form of this rare entity, characterized ...

Primary myofibroblastic sarcoma is an extremely rare, highly malignant neoplasm, and only few cases had been reported in the literature worldwide. In the present study, we report an unusual case of a low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma located in the posterior chest wall with intrathoracic propagation and discuss its clinical and pathological features.

Dermatomyofibroma is an unusual benign mesenchymal tumour of fibrous or myofibroblastic differentiation with a chronic evolution. We report particular case dermatomyofibroma presenting as multiple nodules on the hand, new dermoscopic features.

inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (imt) is a rare neoplastic lesion with tendency toward local aggressive behavior and recurrence. the tumor most commonly occurs in the pulmonary system of children and young adult, although it may rarely develop in older patients and other organs. symptoms are non-specific and depend on the location of the tumor. the gastrointestinal tract is rarely the primar...

Introduction: Inflammatory myofibroblastic pseudotumors are initially described in the lung and various extrapulmonary sites such as the orbits, palatine tonsils, ears, gingiva, pterygomaxillary space, and periodontal tissues. These tumors rarely involve the larynx and predilection to the glottis occurs in an indolent manner.   Case Report This case describes a laryngeal myofibroblastic tumor i...
