Abstract:
We report a case of gastric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in a 25-month-old boy. The condition is very rare and is of unknown pathogenesis. Because it is large and invades adjacent organs, imaging procedure do not provide easy differentiation between an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor and malignacy, and it should thus be included in the differential diagnosis of an infiltrative upper abdominal mass occurring in children.
