Liver transplantation for hilar inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor: Case report and review of the literature.

Background: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) of the liver are rare neoplasms. These tumors are difficult to distinguish from other neoplasms by radiological examination, have uncertain evolution, and there is no consensus on the treatment of these lesions. Hilar tumors can involve the portal vein, hepatic artery, bile duct, and spread to the branches of the portal triad, causing obstructive symptoms, occlusive phlebitis, and portal hypertension.
