Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour of the Small Intestine presenting as Subacute intestinal obstruction in a 7 Month-Old Infant- a case report
Abstract
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour is
rare neoplasm consisting of myofibroblastic
spindle cell proliferation with varying
degrees of inflammatory cell infiltration.
Alimentary tract inflammatory myofiblastic
tumours are rare. We present a
case of 7 month-old male infant with features
of sub-acute intestinal obstruction,
found to be due to solitary ileal inflammatory
myofibroblastic tumour. Anemia and
raised ESR were associated features.
Complete excision is curative in such
solitary lesion although close follow up is
mandatory due to risk of recurrence.
