Abstract
An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare tumor of mesenchymal background commonly found in the pulmonary system. It is rarely found as a primary tumor in the gastrointestinal tract. We report an unusual presentation of this rare lesion causing intussusception and intestinal obstruction in a 39-year-old male.
