title: [Paediatric myofibroblastic tumours. A presentation of three cases].
abstract: There cases of paediatric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours in different locations are presented. This a rare benign disease, that can develop into malignant forms. Clinical features are associated with the location. Fever was the main symptom in all our cases. The symptoms that indicated the location of the tumour were, haematemesis in the first case, and respiratory disease in the third. In the third case our patient was diagnosed with tuberculosis due to mycobacterium avium. All cases had increased CRP, ESR, thrombocytosis and high levels of gamma globulins Surgery is curative if total resection is possible, and the diagnosis is made by histopathology. We would like to emphasise the early development in the second case as this was a 3 months-old infant.
