چکیده (انگلیسی):

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are rare soft-tissue tumors that can
occur at virtually any anatomical site. We report the case of a 58-year-old male with an IMT
of the fourth part of the duodenum who presented with signs and symptoms of high intestinal
obstruction and bilious vomiting. The patient underwent a surgical resection of the fourth part
of the duodenum with end-to-end duodenojejunal anastomosis. The follow-up period of
6 months was uneventful with no evidence of recurrence. According to our knowledge, only
six cases of duodenal IMTs have been reported in the literature thus far, and this is the first
report of a duodenal IMT sited at the fourth part of the duodenum. The duodenum is among
the rarest sites of IMTs. Signs and symptoms resulting from diagnostic imaging investigations
are nonspecific and inadequate to obtain diagnosis accurately. In most cases, surgical treatment
is considered a cure for IMTs. There is no evidence of deaths caused by duodenal IMT.
IMT of the duodenum is a possible diagnosis in differential diagnosis of tumor-like lesions of
the duodenum.
