==Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour==
This is a very large and important group of soft tissue lesions. It is covered in a separate article.
*[[AKA]] inflammatory pseudotumour, AKA inflammatory fibrosarcoma.<ref name=Ref_WMSP610>{{Ref WMSP|610}}</ref>
===General===
*Mostly benign.
*Children & young adults.
*Classically located in mesentery of ileocolic region or small bowel.<ref name=Ref_WMSP610>{{Ref WMSP|610}}</ref>
 
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=Ref_WMSP610>{{Ref WMSP|610}}</ref>
*Inflammation:
**Plasma cells.
**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.<ref>URL: [http://www.pathconsultddx.com/pathCon/diagnosis?pii=S1559-8675%2806%2970283-2 http://www.pathconsultddx.com/pathCon/diagnosis?pii=S1559-8675%2806%2970283-2]. Accessed on: 10 May 2011.</ref>

*Usu. well-circumscribed.
*Clusters of (non-pleomorphic) spindle cells.

*Microcysts in cellular regions - uncommon - ''discriminatory''.
*Mitoses - common.
*Extravasated [[RBC]]s.
