Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in the liver: a case report.

Background: Hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an infrequent tumor with potential malignancy. However, it lacks specific clinical symptoms and usual imaging features.

Case Presentation: A 34-year-old woman had a six-month history of fever and on-and-off pain in the upper right part of her abdomen that lasted for two weeks. Imaging tests revealed a liver mass initially thought to be liver malignancy, but subsequent histopathological examination after liver removal confirmed the diagnosis as hepatocellular inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (HIMT).

Conclusion: Hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an uncommon growth with vague clinical symptoms and lab results. Surgical removal remains the primary treatment method, resulting in favorable prognostic outcomes.
