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 (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...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a pseudosarcomatous lesion occurring in soft tissue and organs. It is known under a wide number of terms, such as inflammatory pseudotumor, plasma cell granuloma, pseudosarcomatous myofibroblastic proliferation. IMT is most commonly located in the lung, while laryngeal location is rarely described. Due to its biology it can be misdiagnosed as a malign...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare entity and a diagnostic challenge with myriad clinical presentations and pathogenetic mechanisms. Isolated occurrences can be at any site in the body; however, only a few cases of IMT with the concomitant appearance of different organs have been published. We report a unique occurrence of bilateral inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the lung...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT), which usually affects young adults and children, is a solid neoplastic mesenchymal proliferation composed of myofibroblastic spindle cells admixed with inflammatory infiltrates. Numerous extrapulmonary sites of these tumors have been found, but intestinal IMT is rare, especially in elderly patient. Its diagnosis is recognized as difficult because the pa...

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...

inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (imt) is an aggressive benign mass that may arise from various tissues and organs with a great variability of histological and clinical appearances. due to variable and nonspecific imaging findings, diagnosis of imt is not obtained before surgery. the aim of this paper is to present ct and mri findings during four-year follow-up of complete, spontaneous regres...

BACKGROUND Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the lung is a rare condition that may mimic cancer. CASE We describe a case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor discovered by a routine chest X-ray in a 26-year-old male patient, primarily diagnosed by fine needle aspiration biopsy. The clinical, cytopathological and differential diagnostic findings of this rare entity are briefly discu...

Collision tumors of the stomach are rare. We report on a case of a collision tumor consisting of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the stomach in a 16-year-old female. A polypoid mass located in the distal body of the stomach was observed on abdominal computed tomography. Laparoscopic wedge resection of the stomach and 4d lymph node biops...

An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a distinctive neoplasm composed of myofibroblastic and fibroblastic spindle cells, accompanied by inflammatory infiltration of plasma cells, lymphocytes, and eosinophils. IMTs rarely occur in the urinary bladder. It is important to distinguish this tumor from other malignant spindle cell tumors. Herein, we report a patient with an IMT showing muscl...
