Metastatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the bladder.

ABSTRACT: A 61-year-old male presented with gross hematuria and transurethral resection of bladder tumor revealed inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT). Due to extent of disease leading to ureteral obstruction and hydronephrosis, radical cystectomy (RC) with ileal conduit urinary diversion was performed. Five months after RC, the patient presented with decreased urine output. Exploratory laparotomy revealed mass in right colon and right hemicolectomy revealed metastatic IMT to the bowel and pericolonic fat. To our knowledge, this is the first report of primary IMT of the bladder metastasizing to other organs.

Crizotinib in ALK-rearranged inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.

Project description:Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a distinctive mesenchymal neoplasm characterized by a spindle-cell proliferation with an inflammatory infiltrate. Approximately half of IMTs carry rearrangements of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) locus on chromosome 2p23, causing aberrant ALK expression. We report a sustained partial response to the ALK inhibitor crizotinib (PF-02341066, Pfizer) in a patient with ALK-translocated IMT, as compared with no observed activity in another patient without the ALK translocation. These results support the dependence of ALK-rearranged tumors on ALK-mediated signaling and suggest a therapeutic strategy for genomically identified patients with the aggressive form of this soft-tissue tumor. (Funded by Pfizer and others; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00585195.).

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.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the pancreas in a dog.

Project description:A large, ill-defined, firm, multinodular mass involving the pancreas was confirmed on postmortem examination of a 5-y-old, male Rottweiler that died following acute respiratory distress syndrome, after a period of anorexia and lethargy. Histologically, the mass consisted of plump spindle cells admixed with a variable number of macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cells, and neutrophils. Foci of coagulative necrosis and hemorrhage were also observed. Spindle cells strongly reacted to antibodies against vimentin, α-smooth muscle actin, and calponin, whereas desmin was expressed only mildly and focally. Pan-cytokeratin, KIT, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and S100 protein were nonreactive. Variable numbers of MAC 387-positive cells, CD3+ lymphocytes, and numerous blood vessels were also detected throughout the mass. Histologic and IHC findings were consistent with a diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the pancreas.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the genitourinary tract: a narrative review.

Project description:Background and objectiveInflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare entity that is described in several organ systems. This comprehensive review aims to identify IMTs occurring at various genitourinary (GU) organ sites and describe patterns of clinical management in adult and pediatric patients.MethodsA comprehensive search of PubMed and Web of Science was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and meta-analyses statement. Two reviewers performed independent initial screening of abstracts. Eligible articles underwent full review and data extraction. The clinical features, diagnostic tests, treatment, and outcomes at each GU organ site were analyzed individually and summarized into a comprehensive review.Key content and findingsOf the 270 articles identified, 112 met inclusion criteria. Articles primarily consisted of case reports or small series describing a total of 167 cases, of which 30 (18%) occurred in children. Most patients (96%) were symptomatic at presentation. The most frequently involved sites included bladder (106 cases) and kidney (n=33) followed by epididymis (n=6), urachus (n=6), ureter (n=5), prostate (n=4), testis (n=4), and spermatic cord (n=3). Complete surgical excision of the mass including partial or total removal of involved organs provided excellent outcomes. Incomplete excision was associated with early local recurrence and progression. Late recurrence or metastatic transformation was rarely noted (<2%).ConclusionsIMTs exhibit locally invasive, symptomatic and progressive phenotypes that affect all urologic organs in adults and children. Clinical features and imaging results are similar to those noted with urologic cancers. These tumors require complete surgical excision since incomplete resection increases the risk of symptomatic recurrence.

Mesenteric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor mimicking acute appendicitis: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionAn Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, a neoplasm of intermediate biological potential, of the small bowel mesentery, is a rare tumor, most commonly reported in but not confined to the pediatric age group.Case presentationThis case report underlines a case of a (small bowel) mesentery IMT in an adult female presenting with recurrent symptoms similar to acute appendicitis.DiscussionIt can present with symptoms similar to acute appendicitis necessitating a high index of suspicion for its prompt diagnosis. Treatment primarily includes surgical resection with recent advances in targeted therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors showing promising results.ConclusionIMTs can present as clinical as well as histopathological mimickers of a variety of diseases especially in the abdomen. Prompt diagnosis requires both imaging and histopathological examination.

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.

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.

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

Project description: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.
