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...

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...

background: inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (imt) is a tumor composed of myofibroblasts and a mixed inflammatory infiltrate that rarely undergoes malignant transformation. the most common sites of involvement include the lung, liver and orbit, but it has been reported to occur in nearly every site of the body, including oral cavity and soft tissue. although common in other sites, such a tumo...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is an uncommon benign neoplasm and its presentation in small bowel is rare. Due to clinical manifestation, laboratory data and radiologic results, there is an increased risk of over diagnosis as malignant tumors particularly malignant lymphoma in childhood therefore may be resulting in wrong therapeutic approach. However pathologic findings could be demonstrat...

abstract inflammatory pseudotumour describes as a wide range of neoplastic and reactive lesions. one of the rare presentations of these tumors is found in the salpinx. this case report characterizes a thirty six year old woman with a history of left sided abdominal pain for a few months. further examinations revealed that she had a complex cyst in her left salpinx. the patient had normal levels...

introduction: inflammatory myofibroblastic pseudotumors are initially described in the lung and various extrapulmonary sites such as the orbits, palatine tonsils, ears, gingiva, pterygomaxillary space, and periodontal tissues. these tumors rarely involve the larynx and predilection to the glottis occurs in an indolent manner.   case report this case describes a laryngeal myofibroblastic tumor i...

BACKGROUND Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, composed of myofibroblastic spindle cells with acute and chronic inflammatory cells, is an unusual, benign solid mass that mimics a neoplastic process. METHODS We report a rare case of a patient with a laryngeal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. Laryngoscopy demonstrated a submucosal mass involving the right false cord. The mass was a well-enha...
