Article Synopsis
- Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) is a rare type of tumor that can occur in various organs, with the bladder being an unusual site, and it presents diagnostic challenges due to its similarities with malignant tumors.
- A case study of a 47-year-old male highlighted his symptoms of urinary issues and abdominal pain, leading to the discovery of a 6 cm bladder tumor via CT scan, which was confirmed as IMT after surgery.
- Although bladder IMT tends to be less aggressive, its diagnosis is complicated and relies on surgical removal and careful follow-up, as distinguishing it from more aggressive cancers can be difficult.
