Abdominal Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour with early recurrence: A case Report analysis
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Inflammatory Myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) is a rare benign disease of unknown etiology and pathogenesis with a potential of local infiltration & multicenticity. This rare tumour occurs primarily in the lungs, but has occurred in other extra-pulmonary sites. We report the case of a 9 year old girl presenting with abdominal mass, weight loss, fever, easy fatigability & malaise for one month. Imaging showed large lobulated heterogeneous mass of 7x11 cm with necrotic and calcified foci & fatty liver. She was operated with intraoperative findings of large multilobular cyst arising from omentum and transverse mesocolon near the spleenic flexure. Biopsy and immunohistochemistry (IHC) confirmed the diagnosis of IMT. Unfortunately, within a period of three months she had recurrence hence was put on chemotherapy but there was no regression of disease. It was decided to re operate her. She is doing well except one episode of febrile neutropenia and is on our follow up.
