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 pseudotumours of the liver are rare tumour-like lesions that can mimic malignant liver neoplasms. The symptoms and radiological findings of this rare tumour can pose diagnostic difficulties. We describe a 69-year-old gentleman who was admitted to our department with symptoms suggestive of acute cholecystitis. Ultrasonography and computed tomography of the liver rais...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare benign entity formerly known as inflammatory pseudotumor. Involvement of the liver is extremely rare. There are controversies about the optimal treatment of this benign entity. Newer reports suggest an association with autoimmune sclerosing pancreatitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis. We present a case of an 18-year-old patient with biliary obstr...

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...

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...

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 tumors are quasineoplastic lesions that may occur in various anatomic locations. Abdominal involvement is reported, but involvement of the gastrointestinal tract remains rare, and usually occurs in children with poor enhancement pattern in computed tomography (CT) scan. We report a case of an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor located in the stomach. The good enhanc...

INTRODUCTION Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour arising in the adrenal gland is exceptional. As far as we are aware, there have been only three previous reports in the literature. We report a fourth case. CASE PRESENTATION A 29-year-old Caucasian man presented with upper quadrant pain due to a 15cm heterogenous adrenal mass that displaced his liver. He underwent an open right adrenalectomy. ...

INTRODUCTION Primary myofibroblastic sarcoma of the bone is a rare spindle cell tumour with, to the best of our knowledge, only eight cases reported in the available English language literature. The disease's rarity and its low-grade features make an accurate diagnosis difficult in most cases. The differential diagnoses of this unusual tumour include various benign entities as well as other sar...
