Description
Summary:Background and Aim Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the liver (IMTL) is a very rare benign disease with a good prognosis. The study aims to determine the clinical, radiological, and pathological characteristics of IMTL. The diagnosis and treatment strategies were discussed. Methods A total of 11 patients with pathologically confirmed IMTL receiving treatment over a 15‐year period were reviewed retrospectively. The analysis included demographics information and pertinent clinical data. Results obtained from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC), and metastatic liver cancer (MLC) receiving surgical resection were compared. Results In comparison to HCC, IHCC, and MLC, IMTL has an earlier onset (P
