BACKGROUND Inflammatory myofibroblatic tumor is a recently caracterized solid mesenchymal tumor. They are frequently localised in the lung. However, the head and neck forms are uncommon. AIM To report a new case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the larynx. CASE REPORT This 47-year old man presented with dysphonia without dyspnea. Laryngoscopy showed a tumor of anterior vocal cord. C...

BACKGROUND Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a neoplasm of unknown etiology occurring at various sites. By definition, it is composed of spindle cells (myofibroblasts) with variable inflammatory component, hence the name is IMT. CASE PRESENTATION The present case is of a 46 years old woman presented with a history of flank pain, abdominal mass and intermittent hematuria for last 6 m...

A 28-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of abdominal pain, weight loss and a palpable intra-abdominal mass. A CT scan revealed a tumor with a diameter of 7 cm with sharp margins, intra-tumoral fatty components and enhancing soft tissue. After initial workup, which suggested an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT), she underwent laparotomy with complete resection. Pathologic...

INTRODUCTION Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor as a rare neoplastic lesion is seen most commonly in the pulmonary system. Beside the presence of limited number of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors of the gastrointestinal tract in the literature, co-existence with acute appendicitis has not been reported before. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 27-year-old woman admitted to emergency department with ...

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.

Introduction Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor (IMT), is a rarer neoplastic entity with a multitude of characteristics.1,2 It was first described by Brunn in 1939, as a tumor with both neoplastic and nonneoplastic features.3 A spectrum of lesions were addressed by the umbrella term “Inflammatory pseudo tumor” until the term IMT was coined by Umiker and Iversion.4 Beforehand, a diverse nomencla...
