“…The primary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a very rare neoplasm in adults and the exact nature of the disease is not yet completely understood [8]. The first abdominal localization was described in liver by Pack and Baker in 1953 [9]. It was once accepted that IMT is primarily a disease of children and young adults and commonly occurs in the lungs [10].…”

The term inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor more commonly referred to as "pseudostumor ", denotes a pseudosarcomatous inflammatory lesion that contains spindle cells, myofibroblasts, plasma cells, lymphocytes and histiocytes. It exhibits a variable biological behavior that ranges from frequently benign lesions to more aggressive variants. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the stomach is extremely rare and its prognosis is unpredictable. We present a 45-year-old diabetic man with a gastric Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. The histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis was the key to reach diagnosis.

“…IPT occurs usually in the lung and rarely in the parotid gland, pleura, stomach, ovary, and liver. Hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor (HIPT) was first described by Pack and Baker in 1953 2. So far, more than 200 cases of HIPT have been reported in the medical literature.…”

A 61‐year‐old Chinese male was found to have a lesion in the left liver during a routine body check‐up. Laboratory tests revealed no abnormalities except for a rise in C‐reactive protein. Computed tomography showed features suggestive of hepatocellular carcinoma. The patient underwent liver IVb segmentectomy and cholecystectomy. Histopathology showed features of hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor. The C‐reactive protein decreased to close to normal on postoperative day 9. A patient with hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor who presented with features mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma was reported. A preoperatively raised C‐reactive protein was the only hint which suggested that our patient might have had hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor instead of hepatocellular carcinoma.

The first description of hepatic localization appeared in 1953 [9]. In most cases it affects adults, but in Asia, the hepatic IPT occurs often in children and young adult persons [2,6].…”
