  • Title: Invasive inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the spleen treated with partial splenectomy in a child.
    Author: Krl EA, Orhan D, Haliloğlu M, Karnak I.
    Journal: J Pediatr Hematol Oncol; 2012 May; 34(4):e131-3. PubMed ID: 22469943.
    Abstract:
    Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare benign tumor that can be found in intra-abdominal organs such as the liver, intestine, extrahepatic bile ducts, and mesentery. The spleen is an extremely unusual location for an IMT. The authors report the case of a 14-year-old boy with invasive splenic IMT, present a review on the current literature about childhood splenic IMT, and emphasize the necessity of total excision of the tumor together with tumor-invaded surrounding tissues.
