- Abstract
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMTs) are relatively rare entities with an uncertain pathogenesis and are classified as tumours of intermediate biological potential. IMTs of the urinary bladder are generally benign in nature and have a very small risk of distant metastasis. Radiographic imaging and clinical symptoms are not helpful in identifying these tumours, because of their nonspecific features similar to those of malignant tumours. Surgical excision may be sufficient for treating patients with urinary bladder IMT.
