Abstract

Two cases of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) involving the genitourinary system are presented. One patient with mass of urinary bladder came in with lower abdominal pain whereas the second patient complained of right flank pain and investigations showed a mass involving the right kidney. At present, no specific guidelines exist for the management of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours. In this case report, we will discuss the work-up and the management stratégies adopted for each case.
