Abdominal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor: Review of the literature by means of a case report

Abstract

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor occurring at intraabdominal sites in children has rarely been described. In this paper, an 18-month old girl with intraabdominal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor who presented with fever, anemia, constipation, weight loss and an abdominal mass is reported. A comprehensive review of the literature is also documented.
