Abstract

A 25-year-old woman presented with a spontaneous vaginal expulsion of a 4cm well-circumscribed nodule a few weeks after delivery. An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor diagnosis was made by morphologic, immunohistochemistry and FISH analysis of the nodule.

Keywords: ALK; Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT); Tumeur myofibroblastique inflammatoire (TMI).
