A Case of Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor in the Abdominal Wall with Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase and Whole Exome Sequencing Analysis
This case highlights a rare and rapidly growing IMT in the rectus abdominis muscle and underscores the value of molecular analysis in understanding the pathogenesis of IMT. Identification of novel mutations through WES expands the genetic landscape of IMT and may provide insights into tumorigenesis and potential therapeutic targets. Further research is required to explore the clinical implications of these mutations in IMT progression and treatment.
