Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of the Breast Mimicking Malignancy in an Elderly Male

摘要

Background:Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare, distinctive lesion composed of a proliferation of myofibroblastic spindle cells accompanied by an inflammatory infiltrate. It was first described in the lung, but its occurrence at various extrapulmonary sites has also been reported. The literature mentions only a handful of cases of IMT in the breast and only 1 case in the male breast. We report the second case of IMT in the male breast.
