A case of successful treatment of a female patient with ALK-positive inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the greater omentum

Self-monitoring, a competing response and response cost were used in the successful treatment of a 49 year old female patient with a 19 year history of trichotillomania. Self-monitoring and a competing response produced significant decreases in hair-pulling, but still continued as the patient found it pleasurable at times of stress. The addition of response cost procedures overcame this.

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.
