“…Our case, found in a rather rare localization (i.e., the sigmoid colon mesentery) with quite large dimensions, exhibited the radiological features of this condition [1,2,7,9]. To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports concerning Doppler US findings in IPT in the literature.…”

“…It was first observed in the lung and described by Brunn in 1939 [3,4]. Its synonyms include "xanthogranuloma," "fibrous xanthoma," "plasma cell granuloma," "histiocytoma," "pseu-dolymphoma," "plasmacytoma" and "inflammatory fibrosarcoma" [2,[4][5][6][7][8]. Some investigators believe that it is a true neoplasm, while others believe that it represents an immunological response to an infectious or noninfectious agent [4,7,[9][10][11].…”

“…The most common sites of intra-abdominal IPT are the small bowel mesentery and the omentum. The abdominal and retroperitoneal IPT usually have larger dimensions, with a high local recurrence rate and more aggressive behavior than their extra-abdominal counterparts [1,2]. Pathologically, the essential point is to recognize the spindle cell and chronic inflammatory cell mass as a nonmalignant proliferation and not a soft tissue sarcoma [1,5,13].…”

“…IPTs are a group of benign lesions of considerable importance, primarily because of the difficulty in differentiating them from malignant lesions. Although these lesions generally pursue a benign clinical course, intra-abdominal and retroperitoneal lesions of this type have typically shown higher recurrence rates and even distant metastases (2). We would like to report the case of a patient with IPT of the sigmoid colon mesentery, which is a rare localization, and define its ultrasound (US), Doppler US and CT findings.…”

The concept of inflammatory pseudotumor has evolved from meticulous pathological studies; some of its histological features resemble a spindle-cell sarcoma. Despite the fact that it usually affects children and young adults, only limited numbers of childhood cases have been reported in the pediatric literature. Recognition of this rare entity is important because the clinical manifestations and radiological features may be indistinguishable from a malignant lymphoproliferative disorder. This entity has been reported to be anywhere in the body, including a variety of intra-abdominal organs. Although one of the most common intra-abdominal sites is the mesentery, localization within the mesentery of the sigmoid colon is particularly rare. We present a case of abdominal inflammatory pseudotumor of the sigmoid colon mesentery, defining its radiological and primarily ultrasound and Doppler ultrasound findings, with a review of additional examples from the literature.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is one of the rare solid tumor occurring in children. Main stay of treatment is surgical resection and in some corticosteroids or NSAIDS may be useful. Here, a case of 3-year-old female with inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of jejunum is presented, that was evaluated clinically, investigated radiologically and finally histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. No complications occurred at peri and postoperative period. The patient was on regular follow-up and no recurrence had been documented yet in 1 year of follow up. In this article, we reviewed the literature for inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.
