A 24-year-old male patient with a complaint of bilateral flank pain had been admitted to a hospital providing secondary care. In the urinary system ultrasonography, a thick-walled spherical cystic lesion was initially evaluated as an abscess, and the patient was referred to the interventional radiology clinic of our hospital for an advanced evaluation and treatment. The patient was referred for abscess drainage, but his medical history was incompatible with an abscess. His physical examination and vital signs were normal. Laboratory evaluations were within normal range except for 194 Manuscript

“…Numerous case reports and small number series (see Section 1) of IMTs have already documented an association with malignant tumors or various specific infections. To our knowledge, the association of NET and IMT has been published only twice so far [29,30]. Due to this rarity, neither diagnosis has been suspected in our patient before surgery.…”

“…These findings were compatible with IMT. 10,11 At present, the exact pathogenesis of IMT is not so clear; several theories have been proposed for the possible etiology of IMT. Recently, cases of inflammatory pseudotumor in association with transplantation have been successively reported although it is a rare condition.…”

Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of the Liver Following Renal Transplantation

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT), previously named inflammatory pseudotumor, is a benign lesion, the exact etiology of which remains obscure; immunosuppression and infections have been speculated to be responsible for the development of pseudotumor. IMT associated with transplantation is rarely reported; we report the first case of IMT of the liver in a renal transplantation patient, who presented with symptoms of abdominal pain. The findings of computed tomography suggested hepatocellular carcinoma or liver abscess, and surgical resection was performed. The lesion was pathologically diagnosed as IMT.
