MRI characterization of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors in the maxillofacial region.
PURPOSE We aimed to investigate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) in the maxillofacial region in order to improve diagnostic quality and resection efficacy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten cases of pathologically identified IMTs were analyzed by MRI. The MRI features were examined, including tumor location, tumor shape, tumor margins, and ...
متن کاملPediatric Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumors of the Airway: Two Case Reports with Varying Clinical Presentation
Introduction: An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare tumor of intermediate malignant potential. It may occur in a wide range of anatomical locations. One-third are found in the respiratory tract. We report two cases of IMT of the airway diagnosed at our institution. Case Report: Case 1: A 6-year-old male child presented with a 1-month history of hoarseness of the voice. On ...
متن کاملMesenteric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs), also known as inflammatory pseudotumors and inflammatory fibrosarcomas, are uncommon mesenchymal tumors composed of myofibroblastic spindle cells admixed with lymphocytes, plasma cells and eosinophils. Once thought to be reactive, these lesions are now considered to be neoplastic. These tumors can occur throughout the body, most commonly in the lung, ...

but distinctive lesion with uncertain malignant potential and unknown etiology. IMT has been reported in various anatomic sites, but is rare in genitourinary tract. Pathologically, the lesion is composed of dominant spindle cell proliferation with variable amounts of an inflammatory component. These spindle cells are now known to be myofibroblasts, which account for the current designation for ...
متن کاملImmunohistochemistry of Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors
Background: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) or inflammatory pseudotumor is a tumoral lesion which can be seen in all age groups and in all internal organs. It is in differential diagnosis with some important neoplasms such as Leiomyosarcoma, Rhabdomyosarcoma, and Sarcomatoid carcinoma. Differentiation between these tumors requires a special diagnostic tool such as Immunohistochemistry ...
