Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare neoplasm with unknown malignant potential that has been described in most organ systems. We present the case of a 3-year-old boy who was referred with lower urinary tract symptoms and macroscopic hematuria. An IMT was suspected after clinical, radiological, and surgical work-up, and the diagnosis was confirmed after a partial cystectomy was performed. A bladder-preserving approach is the treatment of choice, but close clinical follow-up is recommended because of the unknown biological behavior of these tumors.
炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤(IMT)是一种罕见的、恶性潜能不明的肿瘤,已在大多数器官系统中被描述。我们报告了一例 3 岁男孩,因下尿路症状和肉眼血尿就诊。经过临床、影像学和手术检查后,怀疑为 IMT,在进行部分膀胱切除术后确诊。保留膀胱的方法是首选治疗方法,但由于这些肿瘤的未知生物学行为,建议密切临床随访。
