Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare, benign spindle cell neoplasm of the urinary bladder with a presentation concerning a malignant disease. Oftentimes, these tumors pose a diagnostic dilemma because of a significant overlap with malignant spindle cell tumors in terms of clinical presentation, gross findings, and immunohistopathologic profile. A 28-year-old female presented to us with gross hematuria. Upon work up, the presence of a bladder mass was noted. Cystoscopy and transurethral resection of bladder tumor were done and histopathologic results revealed an IMT. Partial cystectomy was then performed for complete surgical resection.
