The commonest site reported in the biliary tree is the extrahepatic bile duct. Gall bla...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the genitourinary tract is a wellknown entity. The majority of the literature characterizes IMT of the bladder as a benign, slow growing tumor in children. We present two cases of aggressive IMT. Although rhabdomyosarcoma is more common, IMT should remain within the differential diagnosis for any bladder mass found in a child or young adult. The diagn...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT), also called "inflammatory pseudotumor", is a rare benign tumor composed of spindle cells with a variable infiltrate of inflammatory cells and fibrous tissue. There have been many reported cases of IMT in every organ system; however, IMT in the mediastinum is rare. We report a rare, proven case of spontaneous regression of IMT in the right cardiophrenic ...

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 ...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) rarely occurs as a primary cutaneous lesion. We report a case of cutaneous IMT in an 8-year-old girl presenting with an ulcerated nodule on the cheek. Although cutaneous IMT poses a diagnostic challenge because of its rarity, excision of the lesion is likely to be curative.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) develop as a non-neoplastic proliferation of myofibroblasts in a myxoid to collagenous stroma admixed with inflammatory cells. The symptoms depend on the specific location of the tumor, which can be anywhere, but is particularly in the respiratory system. Thus, patients with IMT can present with a variety of findings. A pediatric patient with IMT who pr...

An intracranial cyst tumor with a mural nodule can be representative of some types of brain tumors, but is a rare presentation of intracranial inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT). Herein, we report the case of an intracranial IMT in a 48-year-old woman presenting with the extremely unusual radiologic findings of a cyst with a mural nodule.

gastric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (imt) is a rare tumor with and unpredictable prognosis usually find in young adults. we present an 18-year-old man with gastric imt. he complained of epigastric pain, intermittent fever and night sweating associated with weight loss since two years ago. physical examination showed anemic and cachestic features with mild abdominal tenderness in palpitat...

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...

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...
