Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are a rare chronic inflammatory disease with unclear pathogenesis and pathological features that are not those of a malignant tumor. It is difficult to differentially diagnose them without surgical excision because of their unpredictable clinical behavior, which ranges from benign to locally invasive aggressiveness. We report two cases of IMTs that were diagnosed after surgery. In one case, the IMT originated in peri-splenic area in a 63-year-old female patient. The other case involved a 48-year-old female patient who suffered from an IMT of the head of the pancreas. Both of these cases did not require further treatment based on histological findings, and there has been no evidence of recurrence or metastasis so far. These cases show that the primary choice for the exact diagnosis and proper treatment of IMTs is complete surgical resection.

“…The preoperative laboratory ndings of pancreatic IMT were nonspeci c for diagnosis of disease. Only few patients with a solitary mass occurring in the head of the pancreas may be elevated in both serum total bilirubin, amylase, and carbohydrate antigen 19 − 9 due to obstruction of the bile duct or pancreatic duct 26 . The radiological features are often deceptive.…”

Background Pancreatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a relatively rare disease, which is often confused with pancreatic cancer or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. Its histological features are fibroblast and myofibroblast proliferation, accompanied by varying degrees of inflammatory cell infiltration. Case presentation Herein, we presented the management of IMT occurring at the neck of pancreas. A 66-year-old female patient was diagnosed as pancreatic neck mass after a series of tests. Then she underwent enucleation of pancreatic neck tumor followed by pathological diagnosis of IMT. Meanwhile, we reviewed the clinical features and pathological diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic IMT which were previously reported. To our knowledge, this is the unique case of enucleation of pancreatic IMT. In the management of pancreatic IMT, Conclusion we concluded that enucleation may be a safe and efficient surgical method for the management of pancreatic IMT and may also provide a better prognosis. Further accumulation of cases is required to explore the surgical measure of pancreatic IMTs.

“…In the other IMT cases, the patients were usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally. According to our search in the medical literature, our case is the second IMT case that reported who has been diagnosed after signs and symptoms of acute pancreatitis [10]. Laboratory findings of IMT were variable and nonspecific to the disease [11].…”

Key Clinical MessageInflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) histologically characterized by fibroblastic and myofibroblastic proliferation with inflammatory infiltrate. The therapy adopted was Whipple's pancreaticoduodenectomy with a histological diagnosis of the inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. The disease that should be considered as the differential diagnosis is pancreatic cancer. The diagnosis and treatment of IMT is surgical resection.
