filter terms:

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are mesenchymal neoplasms composed of spindle cells and inflammatory infiltrate. The authors describe a 5-month-old infant with orbital inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, the youngest patient currently reported in the literature. The histo-pathology, orbital apex location, and patient's age led to a chemotherapy-driven treatment using crizotinib with near-complete resolution of the tumor.
