Background Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of urinary bladder is a rare entity of genitourinary tract which has baffled urologists worldwide.
Sign and symptoms are site specific.
Usually diagnosed on the basis of immunohistochemistry findings.
Case presentation 35-year-old female patient presented with gross hematuria since 10 days.
Ultrasound revealed a hyperechoic mass from right lateral wall of urinary bladder.
Patient was managed with complete transurethral resection of bladder tumor.
Histopathology and immunohistochemistry was diagnostic for inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.
2 months post-surgery patient developed recurrence, following which she was managed with partial cystectomy.
Conclusion Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor diagnosis is very challenging because of rarity of the tumor with non-specific presentation, and confirmation is done only by immunohistochemistry.
Patients are usually managed with complete resection of tumor with regular follow-up.
