Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumors represent a rare subset of spindle cell tumors that can occur in the genitourinary tract, most commonly within the bladder. These tumors are proposed to fall in a spectrum of benign inflammatory pseudotumors to true sarcomas. This, along with their rarity makes diagnosis and treatment challenging to clinicians. We present a 51-year-old female diagnosed with IMT of the bladder following a presentation for hematuria. Treatment consisted of transurethral resection of the tumor. This case, and the accompanying review of the literature highlight the need for further research due to lack of clarity for diagnosis and treatment.
炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤是梭形细胞瘤的一个罕见亚型，可发生于泌尿生殖道，最常见于膀胱。这些肿瘤被认为处于良性炎性假瘤到真正肉瘤的范围内。这一点以及它们的罕见性使得临床医生在诊断和治疗方面面临挑战。我们报告一例51岁女性，因血尿就诊后被诊断为膀胱炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤。治疗包括经尿道肿瘤切除术。该病例以及附带的文献综述强调，由于诊断和治疗尚不清楚，需要进一步研究。
