The vagaries of diagnosis and management of traumatic lumbar artery pseudoaneurysm.

This report details a patient who sustained a posterior stab to a lumbar artery. The diagnosis was challenging and could have been easily missed if a high index of suspicion were not maintained. In a trauma context, this injury is missed due to focus on other concomitant injuries.

Intestinal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour.

Background: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMFTs) are rare tumours characterised by nosologic, histogenetic and aetiopathogenetic controversy and variable clinicopathological features. We report our experience with intestinal-IMFTs (I-IMFTs) that have been reported mainly as single case reports to date.

Methods: Five patients with I-IMFTs, identified between 2005 and 2008, formed the study cohort.
