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 tumefaction of unknown etiology. It is relatively rare but could occur at various locations throughout the body (1). Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are generally considered a benign mass and include inflammatory cells, histiocytes, and fibroblasts (1). Nevertheless, aggressive features that may mimic a malignant tumor have been described. We present a malignancy mimicking infl...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the abdominal wall is a rare soft-tissue tumor presentation in adults. A 50-year-old woman was referred with abdominal pain and a palpable mass in the left lower quadrant. Computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance investigation revealed an 8-cm heterogeneous abdominal wall mass. Tumor markers were within normal limits. Fine-needle aspiration cytology ...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare benign tumor found in various organs with a sparse number of cases reported in the kidney. We report a case of IMT in a 48-year-old male who underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for a 2.4 cm renal mass suspicious for renal cell carcinoma. Pathologic findings revealed spindle shaped cells in a myxoid background with lymphoid aggregates con...

A primary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of gallbladder is an extremely rare. Clinical and radiologic features IMTs are nonspecific can mimic malignant neoplasm. Herein, we present a case IMT, which was initially suspected to be cancer preoperatively.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rarely seen soft tissue tumor. Although it mostly benign, its biological behaviour controversial. We radiologically and histopathologically evalauted female patient admitted to our outpatient clinic due complaint of cough. Histopathologic diagnosis mass lesion identified at lower lobe right lung was reported as inflammatory aimed present this rare c...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is composed of myofibroblast and inflammatory cell infiltration of the tissue. Malign transformation and recurrence rate of this tumor is rare and accepted as benign fibroinflammatory disease. The main etiology is unclear, but infection, trauma, and immunologic event are accused. In this study, we presented a 75-year-old man with a mass on his tongue, which wa...

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 o...
