Gastric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour in an adult – a rare manifestation
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMFT) is usually a benign disease that is often mistaken for a malignant condition. We present a case of inflammatory pseudotumor from the greater curvature of the stomach of an adult presenting as an exophytic mass lesion. It was diagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumor or mesenteric lipomatous tumor radiologically but it was found to be otherwise on histopathological examination.
