Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) were previously included in the "inflammatory pseudotumors" family, but have emerged as a distinct entity recently. The management of IMT may be challenging due to its intermediate malignant potential. We present a case of a young patient with an asymptomatic retroperitoneal mass with some imaging findings that could point to the IMT diagnosis pre-operatively. After two failed attempts to fully characterize the lesion by percutaneous and surgical biopsy, surgical resection was conducted and the final diagnosis was achieved.
炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤（IMT）以前被归入“炎性假瘤”家族，但最近已成为一种独特的实体。由于IMT具有中间恶性潜能，其治疗可能具有挑战性。我们报告一例年轻患者，其腹膜后肿块无症状，一些影像学表现术前可能提示IMT诊断。经皮活检和手术活检两次尝试均未能完全明确病变性质后，进行了手术切除并最终确诊。
