“…a CT of the brain showed a mass located in the right frontal lobe, slightly more mixed density, size 3 cm, peripheral edema; b MRS showed no peak of Cho and NAA; c T1-weighted Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a low or iso-intensity area at the same site; d-f T2-weighted Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a high and low mixed signal at the same site; g-i MR image showing an homogeneous enhancement by gadolinium diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid (Gd DTPA) in the right frontal lobe month age, which may be the inducing factors of this disease. Some cases have been associated with tuberculosis or malignancy as satellite lesions, and some suggested to be associated to cocaine consumption [4][5][6] and even by viral infection such as EpsteinBarr virus [4,7]. There have been reported IMT in the spleen may be associated with EBV infection [8].…”

Background: We aim to present an unique case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the brain parenchyma and study the clinical presentation, imagine characteristic, intraoperative findings, and histopathology features of IMT in the brain parenchyma. Case Presentation: A 36-year-old female with IMT come to see doctor presented with a 3-month history of progressively worsening weakness in the left upper limb along with alalia. Serial magnetic resonance imaging studies revealed a lesion within the right frontal lobe. The lesions were locally clear boundary with peripheral tissues. A right frontotemporal craniotomy was performed and the specimens were detected by immunohistochemical staining and light microscopy. Through the microscope, the tumor was composed of large number of chronic inflammatory cells and spindle cells. From immunohistochemical stains, it demonstrated CD34 (+), SMA (+), Vimentin (+), and actin (+) were positive meanwhile S-100(-) was negative. Conclusion: IMT of the right frontal lobe is a rare lesions. Surgical resection is the best and the most effective treatment.

“…The etiopathogenesis of IPT is unknown (Seol et al, 2005), and a variety of causes have been implicated such as an immunologic host response to infectious agents (Narla et al, 2003, Boutarbouch et al, 2008, fibrogenic cytokine production, neighbouring necrotic tissue or chronic inflammation following minor trauma, surgery or foreign bodies. More recent studies have identified cytogenetic changes which suggest that a considerable proportion of IPTs are neoplastic (Häusler et al, 2003).…”

“…IPT and IPT-like lesions have also been reported arising from the periorbita (Williams et al, 1998), subcutis (Miller et al, 1999;Wako et al, 2005;Knight et al, 2009) and thoracic and abdominal organs (Slocombe et al, 1992;Gartner et al, 2002;Boyle et al, 2004;Liu et al, 2005;Böhme et al, 2010). Also, in human medicine, only 12 case reports of spinal IPT have been reported (Seol et al, 2005;Boutarbouch et al, 2008).…”

Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is a term defining a mass characterized microscopically by a proliferation of bland mesenchymal spindle cells infiltrated by diffuse mixed inflammatory cells with a predominance of plasma cells and lymphocytes. Here, we show the primo vessel-like structure of the primo-vascular system (PVS) in a dog with IPT. A 6-years old male Mongrel dog was diagnosed with an abnormal mass (diameter 5.5 cm, weight 22 g) near left preputial area. The dog was submitted to the surgical detectomy of the mass. During the surgical operation, we observed primo vessel-like material. After fixations, the masses appeared macroscopically as lipoid-like, firm, white to grey masses, measuring 5×8 cm. Histologically, cellular infiltration into the muscular layers was frequently seen. The mesenchymal proliferation remained the main component of the mass and was composed of myofibroblastic-like spindle cells characterized by globular, irregular nuclei containing open chromatin and a prominent nucleolus. On the basis of the histopathologic lesions, the subcutaneous mass was diagnosed as IPT. Also, we detected a primo vessel-like structures in some areas of the IPT tissues. These were observed as novel thread-like structures and bundle of tubular structures. To our knowledge, this report is the first case of primo vessel-like structure in a dog with IPT.

“…Some cases have been associated with malignancy or tuberculosis as satellite lesions. It is also suggested to be associated to cocaine consumption [4,15,17] and viral infection such as Epstein-Barr virus [3,4]. Therefore, IMT can be diagnosed after elimination of any causative organisms such as fungi and bacteria.…”
