Abstract
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that is typified by a myofibroblastic and mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate (1). The tumor presents itself most commonly in children and young adults, and it occurs most frequently in the lungs (1). Although IMT has been reported in various extrapulmonary sites, its occurrence in the ileum is uncommon. Furthermore, its presentation as intussusceptions is rare and thus, only a few cases have been reported (2). To the best of our knowledge, there is no report in the radiology literature regarding IMT-induced intussusception. We report multidetector computed tomography (CT) imaging findings of an IMT of the ileum in an adult causing an ileoileal intussusception, and further discuss its radiological and pathological features.
