Abstract:
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are rare tumors of unknown etiology, composed of proliferating myofibroblasts and accompanying lymphoplasmacytic infiltration. A 10-year-old boy who developed inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors in the lung as well as the brain is described. Surgery and radiation therapy were not feasible. The authors review the current literature and treatment options.
