ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare mesenquimal tumor of doubtful biological behaviour. It's characterised for affecting mainly children and young adults, although it can appear at any age, being the lungs the primary affected organ (in children it represents 20% of all primary pulmonary tumors). CASESUMMARY:
We present the case of a 45 year old woman, with a computed tomography (CT) finding of injury on the anterior surface of the fundus/gastric body and a solid perigastric injury of 12 mm in the ecoendoscopy. The case is presented in the tumor committee deciding to perform a laparoscopic wedge resection. The histological diagnosis was a IMT. The diagnosis is based on imaging tests like the abdominal CT, abdominal ecography and the ecoendoscopy but to confirm the diagnosis a pathological study is necessary.CONCLUSION:
Due to the unpredictable nature of this tumor, surgical resection is the best therapeutic option.
