Efficacy of core biopsies for diagnosing inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors in pediatric patients: case series from a single tertiary referral center
The findings indicate that when initial biopsy results are inconclusive in cases suspected to be IMT, more precise diagnostic procedures may be necessary to secure a definitive diagnosis. This highlights the need for careful consideration of alternative biopsy methods to ensure accurate identification and effective management of IMT in pediatric patients.
