Abstract excerpt

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT), synonymously referred to as inflammatory pseudotumor, is a distinctive mesenchymal lesion composed of spindle cells displaying morphological features of myofibroblasts admixed with considerable numbers of inflammatory cells. Recent genetic and molecular studies have shown that a subset of IMT is characterized by the expression of altered anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)...
