Abstract
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) are a rare soft tissue and viscera neoplasm with unknown etiopathogeny. They were first described in the lung, with a wide range of synonyms. They can invade adjacent organs, recur after excision or give distant metastases. The debate persists about their inflammatory or tumor, benign or malignant nature. On the radioclinical funding, they can mimic a malignant neoplasm. The diagnosis is almost always made on the pathological examination.
