“…Although some cases of IMT are considered to represent an inflammatory response to infection, trauma or surgery, 8 the etiological factors are not clear. We reviewed 17 cases of IMT of the bladder (Table 1); [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] patients' ages ranged from 3 to 72 years (mean 37) and males were represented slightly more than females (ratio 9:8). The most common symptom of IMT is hematuria.…”

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) is a rare tumour with malignant potential, and has been described in many major organs. However, bladder location is very uncommon. We report the case of a 23-year-old woman who presented with painless gross hematuria for 2 weeks. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a bladder tumour. The patient underwent an open partial cystectomy and the final pathologic diagnosis was IMT of bladder. Typical IMTs can be locally aggressive, therefore close follow-up is necessary.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare lesion of unclear pathogenesis that shows a wide, highly variable spectrum of clinical behavior. We describe the case of a 17-year-old boy with a large IMT that infiltrated the bladder, ileocecal junction, peritoneum and pelvic retroperitoneal space. The tumor was associated with extensive toughening and thickening of the bladder, and, although it showed a tendency for invasive growth, it affected mainly the bladder and adjacent tissue. To the best of our knowledge, this case report is the first to describe an IMT involving the entire bladder and several adjacent pelviabdominal organs. The bladder wall was tough and could hardly be cut by scalpel. Levels of inflammatory response markers such as C-reactive protein fell after surgery.

“…To our knowledge, the presented case is the first IMT coexisting with the other neoplasm. The only exception was a case of an IMT in a patient with Recklinghausen disease, another with systemic lupus erythematous, and the next one with Wolf- Hirschhorn syndrome [ 6 , 9 , 13 ] (Table 2 ).…”

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the bladder – an unexpected case coexisting with an ovarian teratoma

et al. 2014

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) mainly occur in children and young adults, usually in the first two decades of life. IMT-type tumors belong to neoplasms of an intermediate biologic potential with considerable rate of local recurrence and in some cases that able to create metastases. Presented case is the first IMT coexisting with the other neoplasm. In our paper we are going to present a peculiar case of an IMT of the bladder coexisting with an ovarian teratoma, and to discuss its pathogenesis, histological picture and differential diagnosis. A 19-year-old female was admitted to the Gynecological Department and during the surgery, two independent, non-adjacent tumors were found. To settle the diagnosis, a FISH examination with the ALK1 break apart probe was carried out. It confirmed the rearrangement of the chromosome 2p23. Morphologic and immunophenotypic similarities between an IMT and other malignant tumors of the bladder may lead to diagnostic errors and an unnecessary radical cystectomy as a result. The therapy of choice is only total excision of the tumor.Virtual SlidesThe virtual slide(s) for this article can be found here: http://www.diagnosticpathology.diagnomx.eu/vs/1937487606122622
