Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm predominantly affecting children and young adults. Here, we present a case of IMT incidentally discovered in the mesentery of a six-month-old infant, managed through radical surgery. The patient initially presented with decreased oral intake and post-feeding vomiting, leading to the discovery of a large pelvic mass. Following comprehensive evaluation and multidisciplinary management, including surgical excision, the patient experienced a favorable clinical outcome. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of IMT, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate management strategies for this rare entity.
炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤（IMT）是一种罕见的间叶性肿瘤，主要影响儿童和年轻人。在此，我们报告一例在一名6个月大婴儿肠系膜中偶然发现的IMT病例，通过根治性手术进行治疗。该患者最初表现为进食减少和喂食后呕吐，进而发现盆腔有一个大肿块。经过包括手术切除在内的全面评估和多学科管理，患者获得了良好的临床结局。组织病理学检查确诊为IMT，凸显了对这种罕见疾病进行准确诊断和采取适当管理策略的重要性。
