Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in the liver after bone marrow transplantation: case report and literature review
IMTs are caused by genetic rearrangements. Diagnosing IMT can be challenging especially in this case as we had to differentiate the tumor from inflammatory diseases associated with bone marrow transplantation. Hence, a thorough pathological immunohistochemical examination is required to confirm its diagnosis. Local IMTs should be treated with radical surgical resection. In cases of distant metastasis or incomplete resection cases, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy can be utilized. Regular follow-up is crucial for improving the patient's survival rate.
