Background and Objective Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare entity that is described in several organ systems. This comprehensive review aims to identify IMTs occurring at various genitourinary (GU) organ sites and describe patterns of clinical management in adult and pediatric patients. Methods A comprehensive search of PubMed and Web of Science was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and meta-analyses statement. Two reviewers performed independent initial screening of abstracts. Eligible articles underwent full review and data extraction. The clinical features, diagnostic tests, treatment, and outcomes at each GU organ site were analyzed individually and summarized into a comprehensive review. Key Content and Findings Of the 270 articles identified, 112 met inclusion criteria. Articles primarily consisted of case reports or small series describing a total of 167 cases, of which 30 (18%) occurred in children. Most patients (96%) were symptomatic at presentation. The most frequently involved sites included bladder (106 cases) and kidney (n=33) followed by epididymis (n=6), urachus (n=6), ureter (n=5), prostate (n=4), testis (n=4), and spermatic cord (n=3). Complete surgical excision of the mass including partial or total removal of involved organs provided excellent outcomes. Incomplete excision was associated with early local recurrence and progression. Late recurrence or metastatic transformation was rarely noted (<2%). Conclusions IMTs exhibit locally invasive, symptomatic and progressive phenotypes that affect all urologic organs in adults and children. Clinical features and imaging results are similar to those noted with urologic cancers. These tumors require complete surgical excision since incomplete resection increases the risk of symptomatic recurrence.
