The inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT), also knowns as inflammatory pseuduotumor, is a soft tissue lesion of unknown etiology. In the urogenital tract, IMT mainly affects the urinary bladder or prostate, but rarely the kidney. It has been considered as a nonneoplastic reactive inflammatory lesion, but nowadays, it is regarded as a neoplasm due to its high recurrence rate and metastasis. We describe a case of a 61-yr-old woman that had originally been misdiagnosed as renal cell carcinoma, which was pathologically revealed to be an IMT.
炎症性肌纤维母细胞瘤（IMT），又称炎性假瘤，是一种病因不明的软组织病变。在泌尿生殖道，IMT 主要累及膀胱或前列腺，但肾脏受累罕见。过去认为它是一种非肿瘤性反应性炎症病变，但由于其高复发率和转移率，现在被认为是一种肿瘤。我们描述了 1 例 61 岁女性患者，最初误诊为肾细胞癌，病理证实为 IMT。
