Abstract:
With the rapid development of modern medicine, medical equipment is continuously updated and improved, so that we can get a deeper understanding of certain diseases, such as inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT). The etiology, pathogenesis, and clinical manifestations of IMT are not typical. Its imaging impression also lacks specificity, and there are many similarities with malignant tumors, prone to misdiagnosis. However, imaging examinations can indicate the scope of mass, the relationship with the surrounding tissues, and benign and malignant tendency and other information. Preoperative diagnosis of IMT has a certain value and can guide the clinical selection of a proper treatment. This article summarizes the progress of IMT in imaging diagnosis in recent years in order to improve the understanding of IMT.
