Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) are rare and poorly understood inflammatory neoplasms. Most commonly occurring in the liver and gastrointestinal tract, cases of bladder involvement have been rarely reported. Bladder IMT generally presents with gross hematuria and can be differentiated from other bladder tumors by expression of anaplastic lymphoma kinase. We report the occurrence of an Bladder IMT detected following lower urinary tract reconstruction with bladder augmentation.
炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤(IMT)是罕见且了解甚少的炎性肿瘤。最常发生于肝脏和胃肠道,膀胱受累的病例鲜有报道。膀胱IMT通常表现为肉眼血尿,可通过间变性淋巴瘤激酶的表达与其他膀胱肿瘤相鉴别。我们报告了1例在膀胱扩大术进行下尿路重建后检测到的膀胱IMT。
