Abstract

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an uncommon quasineoplastic process occurring in young patients. Splenic involvement is uncommon and occurs predominantly in older, adult patients. We present the youngest patient reported to date with splenic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor and discuss the clinical, pathological and imaging features of this lesion.
