The inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour has clinical, biological or histological features sometimes misleading with a septic condition. Presenting symptoms are variable and arising circumstances remain obscure. We report three cases occurring in a postpartum context. The first patient, a 28-year-old female, had left psoitis with a sepsis the first day postpartum in relation with an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour of the meso-ovary. The second patient, a 40-year-old woman, had a hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour revealed by a ruptured sub-capsular haematoma of the liver in the forth day postpartum. The third patient, a 32-year-old woman, had a pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour, diagnosed 5 months after a delivery and which recurred 10 years after surgical treatment. These cases illustrate the difficulty to diagnose inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour, particularly in postpartum.
