Objectives: To present a case of a inflammatory myofibroblastic neoplasm, sinonasal
in
origin, discuss its clinical features, and discuss diagnostic challenges encountered and
management modalities done for the patient¡¯s case; review the current literature in
diagnosis and treatment for inflammatory myofibroblastic neoplasm
Case Report: A 37 year old male consulted for left facial swelling with a background of
3
month history of recurrent epistaxis. Office-based endoscopy and biopsy showed a
fleshy
mass that was friable and had brisk bleeding upon biopsy. Office-based biopsy
showed
chronic rhinosinusitis only. CT and MR imaging done had differential diagnoses
including
inverting papilloma, nasal angiofibroma, and inflammatory pseudotumor. A second
endoscopic-guided biopsy under general anesthesia was done, with an initial
diagnosis of
spindle cell lesion. Open and endoscopic antero-medial maxillectomy was done and
final
histopathology showed inflammatory myofibroblastic neoplasm, ALK-negative.
Conclusion: Inflammatory myofibroblastic neoplasm of the sinonasal region is a rare
soft
tissue tumor that remains to be studied in its behavior, diagnosis, and prognosis. |
