Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the spleen: report of a case in an adolescent

T E Herman et al. Pediatr Radiol. 1994.

Abstract

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an uncommon quasineoplastic process occurring in young patients. Splenic involvement is uncommon and occurs predominantly in older, adult patients. We present the youngest patient reported to date with splenic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor and discuss the clinical, pathological and imaging features of this lesion.
