Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour is an uncommon soft tissue lesion.
It is also known as inflammatory pseudotumour, and inflammatory fibrosarcoma[1] and plasma cell granuloma.[2][3]
General
- Mostly benign.
- Children & young adults.
- Classically located in mesentery of ileocolic region or small bowel.[1]
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Inflammation:
- Plasma cells - predominant - key feature.[4]
- Lymphocytes.
- Eosinophils.
- Spindle cells without atypia.
- +/-Fasciular architecture.
- Mitoses -- though none atypical.
- +/-Necrosis.
- +/-Hemorrhage.
- Calcifications.
DDx:
- Calcifying fibrous pseudotumour (has psammomatous calcifications).
- Inflammatory fibroid tumour.
- Nodular fasciitis.
Notes:
- Some consider this a wastebasket diagnosis... for benign appearing spindle cell lesions.[5]

Variable staining with:
Negative:[6]
- S100, CD117, CD68.
