Description
Summary:Abstract Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors or inflammatory pseudotumors are uncommon solid tumors that are highly vascularized, have an intermediate prognosis, and are associated with local recurrence, and rare metastasis. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) most often are seen in the lung of young adults, but there have been reports of these tumors occurring in children, in various sites. The authors report a case of an ovarian IMT arising in a six-year-old girl (third case reported in the literature), treated by a right adnexectomy with uneventful postoperative course, and discuss recent reports.
