title: A Case of Cutaneous Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor.
abstract: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) rarely occurs as a primary cutaneous lesion. We report a case of cutaneous IMT in an 8-year-old girl presenting with an ulcerated nodule on the cheek. Although cutaneous IMT poses a diagnostic challenge because of its rarity, excision of the lesion is likely to be curative.
