The authors draw attention on the rare pathological unit named inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, which can affect any anatomical localization. In spite of the fact that it does not display any sign of malignant growth in the histological picture, it can already represent a sarcoma of low grade of malignity. The clinical behavior and therapy are shown in the case histories of patients with the findings of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors.
