[Complete resolution of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the bladder after antibiotic therapy].
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) are rare benign tumors, most commonly arising in the lungs and urinary bladder. Many etiologic factors are suspected in their development, but none have been formally demonstrated. Conventional treatment for bladder IMT is complete surgical resection by partial cystectomy or transurethral resection. We report the case of an 8-year-old girl with documented bladder IMT that resolved completely after antibiotic therapy.
