Primary gastric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in an adult-case report with brief review.

ABSTRACT: The term inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor more commonly referred to as "pseudostumor ", denotes a pseudosarcomatous inflammatory lesion that contains spindle cells, myofibroblasts, plasma cells, lymphocytes and histiocytes. It exhibits a variable biological behavior that ranges from frequently benign lesions to more aggressive variants. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the stomach is extremely rare and its prognosis is unpredictable. We present a 45-year-old diabetic man with a gastric Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. The histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis was the key to reach diagnosis.

Case report of an unexpected inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.

Project description:IntroductionInflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a benign entity that may present as a locally aggressive malignancy, predominantly in the lung. 500 cases have been reported in the literature, and an estimated prevalence ranges from 0.04% to 0.7%.Case presentationAn eighteen-year old male presented to the surgical clinic with abdominal pain. The pain was recurring despite trials of analgesics and remained undiagnosed. Radiological imaging demonstrated a lesion in the spleen. An infectious cause was presumed due to their endemicity in South Asia, however pathology showed an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.DiscussionPre-operative imaging is yet to develop a set criterion that may identify this lesion, though clinicians may be clued in by the benign appearance despite the large size. Usual diagnosis is on pathology after complete surgical excision, which is the mainstay treatment advocated.ConclusionReporting of the tumor in unusual sites such as the spleen is scarce, increase of which may help establish guidelines, understand tumor behavior and guide clinicians that may encounter it in surgical practice.

Intracranial Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor: A Rare Case Report.

Project description:IntroductionInflammatory pseudotumor encompasses a broad range of non-neoplastic and neoplastic entities, including inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs). Because it is a rare mesenchymal tumor of unknown etiology and pathogenesis, and its clinical symptoms and radiologic features are not distinctive, intracranial IMT could be misdiagnosed as other extra-axial tumors. Here, we present a case of intracranial IMT suspected to be a brain abscess.Case presentationIn this case, a 73-year-old woman presented headaches, nausea, and vertigo. Brain computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging showed 4 × 3 cm sized oval rim-enhanced lesion on the left cerebellopontine angle. Considering the patient's history of otitis media and CT findings, we hypothesized that this lesion was a chronic brain abscess. The initial burr hole drain surgery was unsuccessful because there was no abscess, leading to a second radical excision surgery. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses eventually revealed a final diagnosis of intracranial IMT.ConclusionIntracranial IMT is a rare disease with unknown pathogenesis. Diagnosis primarily depends on histopathological and immunohistochemistry analyses. As observed in our case, this disease may be mistaken for meningiomas, solitary fibrous tumors, or chronic abscesses due to its rare occurrence.

ALK-negative lung inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in a young adult: A case report and literature review of molecular alterations.

Project description:RationaleInflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor that is prevalent among children and adolescents. Surgery is the most important therapeutic approach for IMT and complete resection is recommended. Although 50% of IMTs show anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements, crizotinib has proven an effective therapeutic approach. However, the genetic landscape of this tumor is still not fully understood and treatment options are limited, especially in the majority of ALK-negative tumors.Patient concernsWe describe the clinical case of a healthy 18-year-old female in whom a pulmonary nodule was incidentally detected.DiagnosesFollowing a small increase in the size of the nodule, the patient underwent both 18FDG-PET/CT and 68Ga-PET/CT, resulting in a suspicion of bronchial hamartoma.InterventionsThe patient underwent surgery and a salivary gland-like lung tumor was diagnosed.OutcomesAfter surgery, the patient was referred to our cancer center, where a review of the histology slides gave a final diagnosis of ALK-negative lung IMT. Given the histology, it was decided not to administer adjuvant therapy and the patient was placed in a 3-monthly follow-up program. The patient is still disease-free 2 years post-surgery.LessonsAlthough there is no standard of care for the treatment of IMT, identifying genomic alterations could help to redefine the management of patients with negative-ALK disease. Our review of the literature on IMT and other kinase fusions revealed, in addition to ALK rearrangements, the potential association of ROS1, NTRK, RET, or PDGFR beta alterations with the tumor.

Clinicopathological features of gastric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor: Report of five cases.

Project description:The present study reported on the histomorphological observations and immunohistochemical features of five cases of gastric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT). Loosely arranged fat fusiform myofibroblast-fibroblasts and diffusely or patchily distributed inflammatory cells, which formed a diverse morphological structure, were observed. In the mucous vascular structure, mucoid or collagenous areas, fibromatosis- or scar-like lesions were generally <10 mm in size and both had diffuse or patchy plasma cells, lymphocytes and other inflammatory-cell infiltration backgrounds. The immunophenotype was vimentin- and smooth muscle actin-positive with pan-cytokeratin, desmin and calponin expression and CD34-positive foci; furthermore, three cases were positive for anaplastic lymphoma kinase expression. Gastric IMT is rare, with unique histopathological changes and corrosion-like invasion of the smooth muscle of the stomach wall, blood vessels, nerves and adipose tissue. It should be differentiated from a variety of spindle cell tumor types and tumor-like lesions.

Advanced MRI features of intraventricular inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundInflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare central nervous system (CNS) tumor. We first report a rare case of IMT in the lateral ventricle and describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of the tumor with an emphasis on the advanced MRI features.Case presentationA 49-year-old female patient with headaches and blurred vision for 2 months. Brain MRI revealed a well-circumscribed, lobulated mass occupying the left lateral ventricle trigone, with marked perilesional brain edema. The tumor showed heterogeneous significant hyperintensity on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and hypointensity on T1-weighted imaging (T1WI). After the administration of gadolinium, the mass exhibited marked contrast enhancement and the halo sign was observed. On advanced MRI, the lesion showed decreased perfusion on perfusion MRI and reduced diffusion on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). On susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), there was a punctate low signal intensity in the tumor. The patient underwent surgical resection of the mass and a pathological examination confirmed the lesion to be an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor with negative expression of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). This patient had remained healthy without evidence of recurrence during a 20-month follow-up.ConclusionsOn MRI, marked perilesional brain edema, significant hyperintensity on T2WI, hypoperfusion on perfusion MRI but with an obvious enhancement, no diffusion restriction on DWI, and halo sign may be the characteristic findings of intraventricular IMT. The advanced MRI characteristics could provide abundant information to reflect the histological features and physiological metabolic characteristics of the tumor.

New Perspectives in the Treatment of Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor with ALK Translocation: Case Report.

Project description:IntroductionInflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare entity, classified within soft tissue sarcomas. It is an intermediate malignancy tumor, which seldom presents as metastatic disease. The treatment of choice is surgery, except in cases where surgery is not possible due to localization or if it presents with metastatic disease. Approximately 50% of IMTs will exhibit ALK translocation, providing a therapeutic target for these patients.Case presentationA case is presented of a patient with metastatic IMT in complete response to treatment with alectinib, maintained for over 4 years.ConclusionThis case showed a long time complete response in patient with IMT treated with alectinib.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour of the bladder: Case report and review of the literature.

Project description:Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) is a rare tumour with malignant potential, and has been described in many major organs. However, bladder location is very uncommon. We report the case of a 23-year-old woman who presented with painless gross hematuria for 2 weeks. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a bladder tumour. The patient underwent an open partial cystectomy and the final pathologic diagnosis was IMT of bladder. Typical IMTs can be locally aggressive, therefore close follow-up is necessary.
