Abstract
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare entity that most commonly involves the lung. However, an IMT of the kidney is extremely rare. The etiology and pathogenesis of IMT remain unknown. The present study describes the case of a 48-year-old female who presented asymptomatically. Imaging investigations revealed a mass in the left kidney and a pathological examination of the nephrectomy specimen revealed an IMT. The patient had a history of trauma in the left hypochondrium 13 years previously and a history of hepatitis B for 20 years. The latter developed into hepatic cirrhosis, hypersplenism and coagulation disorders, which may play have played a significant role in the development of the IMT of the kidney in the present case and also may aid in improving the understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of IMT of the kidney.Keywords
