Abstract

The term inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor more commonly referred to as “pseudostumor “, denotes a pseudosarcomatous inflammatory lesion that contains spindle cells, myofibroblasts, plasma cells, lymphocytes and histiocytes. It exhibits a variable biological behavior that ranges from frequently benign lesions to more aggressive variants. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the stomach is extremely rare and its prognosis is unpredictable. We present a 45-year-old diabetic man with a gastric Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. The histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis was the key to reach diagnosis.
