Abstract EN
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are distinct entities with specific characteristics immunohistochemically and molecularly.
They are regarded as “intermediate malignancy” tumors of unknown etiology.
We report a case of a 64-years-old woman with a fever and abdominal discomfort for 3 months; a computer tomography was performed indicating gastrointestinal stromal tumor.
Histologically the lesion proved to be IMT of the abdomen.
