Abstract EN

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare neoplasm described in several tissues and organs including genitourinary system, lung, head, and neck.

The etiology of IMT is contentious, and whether it is a postinflammatory process or a true neoplasm remains controversial.

To our knowledge, we report the first reported case of IMT of urinary bladder in a pediatric patient with Wolf-Hirschhorn (WHS).

We also review the literature about patients with associated neoplasia.
