ABSTRACT
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor [IMT] is very rare solid tumor; it is of unknown origin, characterized by unpredictable clinical behavior. It arises from soft tissues of almost every organ and the most common site is the lung. We describe here a case of intra-abdominal IMT in a boy of 6 years old presented with symptoms and signs of acute abdomen with intra-abdominal mass. The aim of reporting this case is to clarify the importance of the rare tumors in the differential diagnosis of intra-abdominal masses beside the more common tumors like appendicular mass, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or gastrointestinal stromal tumor
