Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor

Inflammatory Epithelioid Myofibroblastic Sarcoma

Two patients with masses of the urinary bladder presented with gross hematuria. The third patient presented with left flank pain and a mass encasing the left ureter causing hydronephrosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The presentation is nonspecific and depends on the organ involved. [orpha.net]

  • Falling

    Three days after the admission, her hemoglobin falls to 86 g/l. Cystoscopy showed a solid tumor on the posterior wall of the bladder sized 3 cm, it looked like infiltrating tumor growing from the adjacent organs. [urologyannals.com]

  • Upper Abdominal Pain

    A 30-year-old woman complained of right upper abdominal pain. Computed tomography showed a large lobulated mass over the right diaphragm, but no disseminated nodules were noted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Melena

    The patient was admitted to the emergency department for melena. MRI showed a distal jejunum hypervascular mass. Other exams were negative. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Acute Abdomen

    CASE REPORT: We report a case of 59 years old male who presented an acute abdomen due to a mass of the mesentery of the terminal ileum, which was perforated with active bleeding. Histopathology reported a low-grade TMI with clear margins. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Polydipsia

    A pediatric patient with IMT who presented with cough, breathlessness, polyuria-polydipsia, and convulsions is described in this report. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Left Flank Pain

    The third patient presented with left flank pain and a mass encasing the left ureter causing hydronephrosis. The fourth patient presented with a painless, growing palpable mass of the left hemiscrotum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Upper Back Pain

    A 76-year-old Korean man presented with a history of upper back pain for 2 months and motor weakness in both lower extremities for 2 days. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Eruptions

    Herein we present a 25-year-old male with a 3-month history of refractory stomatitis especially involving the lips and widespread vesiculobullous eruption on his trunk and extremities. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Skin Lesion

    Skin lesions responded favorably to treatment, but oral stomatitis still persists which is the case in most PNP patients. This combination of PNP and IMT has rarely been reported in the literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Convulsions

    A pediatric patient with IMT who presented with cough, breathlessness, polyuria-polydipsia, and convulsions is described in this report. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Insomnia

    A 20-year-old woman presented with a rare intracranial inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) manifesting as headache and insomnia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Provides all the necessary tools to make a comprehensive diagnostic workup including data from ancillary techniques and molecular findings whenever appropriate. [books.google.de]

The results of tissue cultures, autoimmune, and hypercoagulable workups were negative. Figure 3. [circ.ahajournals.org]

Initial imaging workup showed multifocal brain lesions and large left lung mass. [cureus.com]

Metastatic workup, including a chest CT scan and radionuclide bone scan, was negative. Following multidisciplinary consultation, laparotomy was performed via a left subcostal incision. [spandidos-publications.com]

[…] seen in 15–30% of patients, and laboratory evaluation may reveal microcytic anaemia, a raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate, thrombocytosis, and/or polyclonal hypergammaglobulinaemia. 9 10 In some cases, the mass may be found only after an extensive workup [doi.org]

  • Pleural Mass

    After 1 month, chest computed tomography showed a reduction in the size of the pleural mass, and abdominopelvic computed tomography showed decreased infiltration around the right renal pelvis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Tumor resection is the treatment of choice in IMT. Such tumor location is associated with the high risk of perioperative failure. Steroid therapy and chemotherapy is reported in the literature as a nonsurgical treatment alternative. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We also discuss the various surgical and non-surgical treatment options and the prognosis associated with this disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In this article we review the pathophysiology, genetics, clinical presentation, imaging findings of IMT of the lung. We also discuss the various surgical and non-surgical treatment options and the prognosis associated with this disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Despite a high incidence of tuberculosis, we must consider the possibility of PIMTs in such cases to prevent misdiagnosis and mistreatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Awareness of this finding can prevent one from misdiagnosing dedifferentiated liposarcoma as inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, a much less aggressive neoplasm. [experts.umich.edu]

By analogy, NMD has been shown to raise the threshold for triggering the unfolded protein response, thereby preventing programmed cell death in response to innocuous stimuli ( 16, 17 ). [jci.org]

Early and complete surgical resection of the mass provides cure and prevents local recurrence. 2 6 Role of radiation therapy and chemotherapy has not been clearly defined. In conclusion, IMT can undergo sarcomatous transformation rarely. [ispub.com]
