Abstract

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the lung has often been reported but extrapulmonary cases are rare. Here we describe a case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the breast in a 60-year-old woman. This is only the eleventh case reported in the English language literature. The patient was free of disease 85 months after surgery.
