    Author: Dagash H, Koh C, Cohen M, Sprigg A, Walker J.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2009 Sep; 44(9):1839-41. PubMed ID: 19735837.
    Abstract:
    Inflammatory pseudotumors also termed inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are rare, benign, solid lesions of unclear etiology more usually found in the lung and very rarely in the pancreas. We report 2 cases and outline our management for each. The first case was treated surgically, whereas the second was treated with high-dose steroids. This represents the first reported case whereby steroid treatment has been successful in pancreatic IMT.
