ABSTRACT: Inflammatory
myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare neoplasm with unknown malignant potential
that has been described in most organ systems. We herein present a case of a
young female who presented with macroscopic hematuria. An IMT of the urinary
bladder which was not suspected after clinical, radiological and surgical
work-up was diagnosed microscopically and confirmed by immunohistochemistry. A
close clinical follow-up is recommended because of the unknown biological
behavior of this tumor. A brief review of literature is also presented here.
