摘要：Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are a rare chronic inflammatory disease with unclear pathogenesis and pathological features that are not those of a malignant tumor. It is difficult to differentially diagnose them without surgical excision because of their unpredictable clinical behavior, which ranges from benign to locally invasive aggressiveness. We report two cases of IMTs that were diagnosed after surgery. In one case, the IMT originated in peri-splenic area in a 63-year-old female patient. The other case involved a 48-year-old female patient who suffered from an IMT of the head of the pancreas. Both of these cases did not require further treatment based on histological findings, and there has been no evidence of recurrence or metastasis so far. These cases show that the primary choice for the exact diagnosis and proper treatment of IMTs is complete surgical resection.
