Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) is a rare mesenchymal tumour. It is usually benign but may behave as a malignant tumour with multiple recurrences and metastases. We present the case of a young woman with weight loss associated with diffuse abdominal pain, who was shown to have a large pancreatic mass. Investigation revealed fusocellular mesenchymal neoplasia, compatible with the diagnosis of IMT. As the mass was unresectable, glucocorticoid therapy was initiated with an excellent response and regression of the tumour.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor occurs primarily in the viscera and soft tissue of children and young adults. This tumor is potentially malignant because of its tendency for local recurrence and its ability to metastasize. It is composed of a variable mixture of collagen, inflammatory cells, and usually bland spindle cells showing myofibroblastic differentiation. We report a 38-year-old female diagnosed with inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor preoperatively and has undergone right upper and middle lobectomy through fifth intercostal space for the same. Post-operative histopathology corroborated with preoperative diagnosis.
