Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare entity characterized by the presence of myofibroblasts and inflammatory cells within a fibrous stroma. It typically occurs in the pediatric population. The most common site of occurrence is the lung though it has been reported throughout the body. Although rare, it has been reported in the orbit. The clinical course is ill defined in the literature; here we report a case of pediatric IMT with delayed spontaneous regression.
炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤是一种罕见的实体瘤，其特征是在纤维性间质中存在肌成纤维细胞和炎性细胞。它通常发生于儿童群体。最常见的发生部位是肺，不过全身各处均有报道。虽然罕见，但也有在眼眶发病的报道。文献中对其临床病程尚无明确界定；在此我们报告一例小儿炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤出现延迟性自发消退的病例。
