Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors: A short series with an emphasis on the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges

CONCLUSION: IMTs are rare and ambiguous tumors of unknown etiology that can occur anywhere in the body. Clinical and radiological features may not be specific to determine the diagnosis, but it should be considered as a differential diagnosis. Extensive thorough workup with histopathology along with the help of immunohistochemistry is conducive to better clinical outcomes. Surgical biopsy with extensive and total resection of these tumors along with steroid and radiotherapy may enhance the survival outcomes.PMID:37051870 | DOI:10.5414/NP301540
