“…Tanaka et al [2] reported a 79-year-old male with IMT of the ascending colon who had no local or distan metastasis 16 months after hemi-colectomy. Zhou et al [3] described a 13-month-old girl with rectal IMT, who was also free of recurrence 4½ years after complete resection. Nevertheless, the optional strategies are still unclear for impossible or incomplete resection.…”

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm of intermediate malignant potential. It may occur in various anatomic locations, but rarely in the rectum. This is a case discussion of a 36-year-old male patient with IMT of the rectum. After the patient underwent radical surgery, recurrence was seen after 18 months. Because the tumor was very close to the surrounding tissue, palliative tumor resection was performed followed by concurrent chemo-radiation and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). After 2-year follow-up, the patient has no evidence of recurrence or metastasis. Surgical resection is very important for patient with rectal IMT, even in relapse cases. And adjuvant chemoradiotherapy and NSAID are in favor of the incompletely resected tumors as our case. But perhaps, the adjuvant treatments could be helpful after radical resection of rectal tumor.

“…Abdominal lesions usually present with mass, fever, weight loss and pain, but obstruction has also been reported [1,6,8,11,12]. Of the two case studies of rectal pseudotumors, one presented in a 13 month-old Chinese girl with a rectal polyp, while the other was a 15-year old girl with vague symptoms of abdominal discomfort, nausea, diarrhea and weight loss [9,13].…”

“…Post-resection, the risk of local recurrence ranges from 14% to 40% [1,5,6,9,[11][12][13]. Higher recurrence rates may be associated with mesenteric or retroperitoneal masses, large tumors (N 8 cm), nodular or multilobulated lesions, ill-defined tumor morphology, locally invasive tumors, or incomplete resection [1,6,9].…”

“…The clinical presentation is confusingly variable, ranging from mostly solitary lesions [13] up to multiple [14], recurrent [15] or even metastatic ones [16]. Children seem to be more frequently affected [17], but adults even up to the seventh decade are involved as well [18]. Recently, we reported a case of a 39-year-old man with recurrence of a thoracic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) which shows some similarities to IPT, with mesenteric metastasis 12 years after first manifestation and resection [19].…”
