Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rarely described tumor of unknown etiology and pathogenesis. An IMT may occur in almost any part of the body, from the central nervous system to the limbs, and has nonspecific clinical manifestations.  Histologically these lesions appear as an inflammatory infiltrate within a variable myofibrotic background. We here present a case of 67-year-old woman who presented with vague abdominal mass and her TAH with BSO was done in view of preoperative diagnosis of ovarian malignancy, which after histopathology came out to be IMT of pelvis.
