Abstract:
An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMFT) is relatively rare pseudo-sarcomatous lesion with unknown etiology, which has a distinctive histologic appearance. An IMFT has been known as non-neoplastic aberrant inflammatory response, but some lesions are locally invasive, recurrent and distantly metastatic. We experienced a case of IMFT of the jejunum as the leading point of intussusception in a 52- year-old female. Jejunal segmental resection and anastomosis was performed and the tumor showed spindle cell proliferation with prominent inflammatory infiltrate under microscopic examination.
