Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour of the gallbladder

Authors: Kasim A Behranwala, Peter Straker, Andrew Wan, Cyril Fisher, Jeremy N Thompson

Abstract

Background

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) is a benign, nonmetastasizing proliferation of myofibroblasts with a potential for local infiltration, recurrence and persistent local growth.

Case report

We report a case of a 51 year-old female, who had excision of a gallbladder tumour. Histopathology showed it to be IMT of the gallbladder.

Conclusion

The approach to these tumours should be primarily surgical resection to obtain a definitive diagnosis and relieve symptoms. IMT has a potential for local infiltration, recurrence and persistent local growth.
