Abstract EN
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an extremely rare lesion found in the maxillofacial region.
Its frequency diminishes further when found in the bone.
Although classification has varied throughout its history, the histologic features are often diagnostic, particularly with its strong association with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-1 (ALK-1) staining.
The current mode of treatment for such a lesion is surgical removal with careful followup.
In this rare case report, we describe the diagnosis and treatment in a 16-year-old male.
Although this rare pathology can present as—and at times mimic—more serious pathologies, it is important for the attending surgeon to initially manage the pathology conservatively.
