ABSTRACT
Benign intestinal tumors are rare in children; however, the authors describe an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the terminal ileum in a 2-month-old infant who presented with an intestinal obstruction. During laparotomy, an annular mass around the terminal ileum was resected, from which a histological diagnosis of IMT was made. A review of the literature for this rare condition was done to delineate the natural history of this tumor and to do a histological confirmation of its benign nature. Because of the risk of local recurrence, IMT cases should have a long-term follow up.
