Abstract

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare benign condition of an unknown etiology and it may be clinically misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor. We examined a 28-year-old male with a slowly-growing mass in his left thigh. The MR images showed a relatively well-defined, intermuscular mass lesion with heterogeneous enhancement. The histopathologic examination of the resected specimen revealed inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. We report here on the MR findings of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the thigh in this patient.

염증성근섬유아세포종은 원인이 뚜렷하지 않은 드문 양성질환이며 임상적으로는 악성종양으로 오진되는 경우가 있다. 저자들은, 좌측 대퇴부의 서서히 자란 종괴를 주소로 내원한 28세 남자를 검사하였다. 자기공명영상에서 불균질한 조영증강을 보이는, 경계가 비교적 뚜렷한 근육 사이의 종괴가 있었다. 이 종괴는 조직병리학 검사에서 염증성근섬유모세포종으로 확진되었다. 저자들은 이 환자의 대퇴부에 생긴 염증성근섬유모세포종의 자기공명영상 소견에 대해 보고한다.
