Torqued pedunculated inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour of the greater omentum (GO-IMT) presenting as gynaecological emergency in an adolescent girl: case report and representative literature review

1. Abstract 1.1. Background and Objectives: Material and methods: A rare case of a torsion of pedunculated Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor (IMT) from the Greater Omentum (GO) in an adolescent girl, mimicking torsion of pedunculated leiomyoma is presented. IMT is a rare pathology, with pelvic location and torsion of pe- dunculated IMT from the GO being extremely rare. Surgery is the treatment of choice. However, the treatment was severely delayed in our patient due to signs of infection, unrecognized pathology and multiple transfers among departments. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported of a torsion of pedunculated GO-IMT, lo- cated in the pelvis and representing as gynaecological emergency.
