Mesenteric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors in an elder patient with early recurrence: A case report

Abstract: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the alimentary tract often occurs in children or young adults, but may occur at any age. Symptoms are nonspecific and depend on the location of the tumor. The most often involved sites are small bowel mesentery especially the distal ileum, mesotransverse colon, or great omentum. Recurrence appears to be more frequent in the extrapulmonary lesion. Herein we demonstrate a 63-year-old male patient with mesenteric IMT, with an early recurrence after his first operation. … Show more

“…The presence of chromosomal abnormalities, local recurrence, and distant metastases 4,28,29 establish that IMT is a true neoplasm. Researchers are currently investigating whether ALK 1 tumor positivity is predictive of tumor behavior and prognosis.…”

“…Similar to retroperitoneal fibrosis, IMT has been reported in conjunction with other autoimmune diseases and/or symptoms. 12 Herein, we report the eighth case of a mesenteric IMT in the English literature 4,5,[13][14][15][16][17] in a patient presenting with abdominal pain, fatigue, weight loss, uveitis, and anemia.…”

“…Des associations avec des germes tels l'Epstein Barr virus, le Campylobacter jejuni, le Mycobacterium avium, la Pasteurella hemolytica, l'Echerichia coli, le Pseudomonas veronii sont décrites sans preuve d'une relation avérée entre la tumeur myofibroblastique et les agents infectieux [1,4]. Les tumeurs myofibroblastiques peuvent récidiver après exérèse ou donner des métastases à distance [5,6]. Les formes les plus agressives renferment une hypercellularité, des atypies cellulaires, une aneuploïdie [7,8].…”
