    Abstract

    An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is relatively rare quasineoplastic lesion. An IMT usually presents as a single mass within a single organ or sometimes as multifocal lesions within a single anatomic region. An IMT involving noncontiguous multi-organs within different anatomic regions is extremely rare. We present a case of an aggressive IMT that involved the musculoskeletal system and multiple abdominal visceral organs.
