Abstract

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) are rare tumors of unknown etiology, composed of proliferating myofibroblasts and accompanying lymphoplasmacytic infiltration. They are most commonly seen in the lung, but may rarely occur in other organs. The authors review the current literature of coexisting inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors of lung and brain.
