Abstract

Abstract We report a rare case of Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour (IMT) on the left arm of a 6 month old male infant. The tumour was completely excised and has not recurred in two years. IMT is known to occur in any part of the anatomy of humans, at any age, and in any gender. Reviewing publications of IMT in English literature, this case appears to be one of the few occurring in infancy. IMT, previously classified under inflammatory pseudo-tumour is now known to belong to its own entity. Complete surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment and histology of the tumour gives the ultimate diagnosis.
