ABSTRACT
Background:
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare disease, usually benign, although with possible progression to malignancy. The clinical features depend on its location. If the resection is completed, surgery is curative, but recurrence is possible. The diagnosis is always histopathological. Case report We report a 20 years old female admitted for a progressive abdominal pain lasting 24 hours. The patient was subjected to an appendectomy but in the postoperative period she continued with nausea and vomiting. The patient was operated again, finding a small bowel tumor with multiple adhesions, occluding the intestinal lumen and a Meckel diverticulum. The pathological study of the tumor reported the presence of an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. The patient had an uneventful postoperative outcome.RESUMEN
Introducción:
El tumor miofibroblástico inflamatorio (TMI) es una enfermedad poco frecuente, en general benigna, aunque con posible evolución a malignidad. Las características clínicas dependen del lugar en el que esté ubicado. La cirugía es curativa siempre y cuando la resección sea total; aunque no se excluye la posibilidad de recidivas. El diagnóstico siempre es histopatológico. Dadas sus características clínicas y sitios de presentación se ha denominado de distintas formas e incluso sigue siendo motivo de estudio a fin de entender completamente su fisiopatología. Caso clínico Presentamos un caso de esta rara entidad con un cuadro clínico de un abdomen agudo.
