Abstract Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMFT) of the colon is a very rare entity, characterized by proliferation of myofibroblast cells admixed with inflammatory infiltrates. The entity was first described in the late 1990s, and since then less than 30 cases have been described. It frequently mimics other neoplasm of the colon, such as adenocarcinoma, lymphoma and stromal tumor, and is very difficult to clinch the diagnosis preoperatively based on the clinical and radiological findings. Here, we discuss an uncommon case of sigmoid IMFT in a 35-year old male, presenting with bleeding per rectum and managed successfully by colectomy.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) of the breast represent extremely rare lesions. Due to the scarcity of reports, their natural history, recurrence, and metastatic potential remain poorly defined. We report on a case of a primary breast IMT in a postmenopausal female patient treated successfully with breast conserving surgery and review the literature pertaining to this rare entity.

Uncommon Tumor

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is an uncommon tumor composed of myoblasts and various types of inflammatory infiltrates. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is most common in the lungs but can be rarely found in the nasal cavity. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare entity that represents a diverse histologic pattern that can mimic malignant tumors. We report a case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the nasal septum in a 45-year-old man who presented with a tumor-like lesion of the nasal septum after two rounds of septoplasty.

Adenocarcinoma Of The Colon

This report presents the case of an 83-year old man with a collision tumor consisting of an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) and adenocarcinoma of the left colon. As the clinical and radiologic features of IMT are non-specific, only the accurate histopathological examination from the left hemicolectomy specimen was diagnostic. Although the prognosis of a colorectal IMT seemed more favorable than in other sites, four months after surgery the patient developed a tumor relapse. Therefore, malignant behavior of IMT could not be totally excluded. Recent studies have demonstrated that a chromosomal rearrangement involving 2p23, the site of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene, is present in a subset of these tumors. In our patient, tumor cells did not present ALK-1 perinuclear positivity and it could have indicated a less favorable prognosis. The collision of these different entities is extremely rare and this is the first case reported in literature. Further cases of collision tumors with clinical information including their treatment and prognosis are needed.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is one of the rare solid tumor occurring in children. Main stay of treatment is surgical resection and in some corticosteroids or NSAIDS may be useful. Here, a case of 3-year-old female with inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of jejunum is presented, that was evaluated clinically, investigated radiologically and finally histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. No complications occurred at peri and postoperative period. The patient was on regular follow-up and no recurrence had been documented yet in 1 year of follow up. In this article, we reviewed the literature for inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.

Abstract. A carotid artery pseudoaneurysm in an irradiated neck is a rare entity with possible devastating results and management should be multidisciplinary. We present a successful endovascular treatment of a late carotid artery pseudoaneurysm following patch endarterectomy and cervical radiotherapy.
