Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor

Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor (IMT) is a rare, benign neoplasm with an unclear etiology, often misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor due to its aggressive clinical presentation. This study aims to describe the diagnostic challenges, clinical features, and effective management strategies for IMT, with a focus on a case involving a 42-year-old patient with a nasal cavity mass causing active bleeding. The patient underwent a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, including CT scans and tissue biopsy, which confirmed the diagnosis of IMT. Surgical intervention was performed with medial maxillectomy, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. Post-surgical evaluation showed that the patient responded well to treatment, with no recurrence at the time of follow-up. IMT remains a diagnostic challenge, particularly in cases involving the nasal cavity, where it can mimic more aggressive malignancies. A multidisciplinary approach, combining surgery and radiotherapy, appears to be effective in managing this tumor. Long-term follow-up is crucial due to the potential for recurrence and metastasis.
