Abstract
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are rare. They are characterized by myofibroblastic spindle cell proliferation with a varying degree of inflammatory cell infiltration. IMT can occur in any anatomic location but has been reported in the lung, mesentery, and omentum, mainly in children or young adults. It rarely occurs in the pancreas and is often difficult to distinguish from other tumors, including some malignant ones. Therefore, it can be challenging to make a radiological diagnosis of IMT. Here, we present a case of IMT that occurred in the pancreas head of a middle-aged female. The patient’s ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging findings are presented along with a review of the literature.
