The aim of this study is to present a case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the liver in a 4-year-old girl. We will discuss the diagnostic challenges, the role of the radiologist in differential diagnosis, treatment modalities, and clinical outcomes.
A case report of a 4-year-old girl with IMT of the liver is presented. We will review the patient's clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging findings, histological features, treatment, and follow-up.
The patient presented with vomiting and jaundice, but no fever. Imaging studies revealed an hepatic lesion suspicious for IMT; pathology confirmed the diagnosis. The patient underwent surgical intervention with successful resolution.
IMT of the liver is a rare but important diagnosis to consider in children with abdominal masses. Radiologists play a crucial role in differential diagnosis. Surgical resection can be an effective treatment option for IMT, leading to favorable clinical outcomes.
本研究旨在介绍一名4岁女童肝脏炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤（IMT）的病例。我们将讨论诊断挑战、放射科医生在鉴别诊断中的作用、治疗方式及临床结果。
呈现一名患有肝脏IMT的4岁女童的病例报告。我们将回顾患者的临床表现、诊断性影像学检查结果、组织学特征、治疗及随访情况。
患者表现为呕吐和黄疸，但无发热。影像学检查发现肝脏有一个可疑为IMT的病变；病理检查确诊。患者接受了手术干预，病情成功缓解。
肝脏IMT在患有腹部肿块的儿童中是一种罕见但重要的需考虑的诊断。放射科医生在鉴别诊断中起着关键作用。手术切除对于IMT可能是一种有效的治疗选择，可带来良好的临床结果。
