Résumé

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMTs) have been described
in lung, bladder, spleen, breast, pancreas, liver, colon, spermatic
cord, prostate, peripheral nerves, orbit and kidney. Traditionally
believed as having a reactive pathogenesis, IMTs are now viewed
more as a neoplasm. This report describes a case of a renal IMT in
a 14-year-old girl with spina bifida associated neurogenic bladder
and a history of recurrent urinary tract infections. This represents a
unique case as pediatric renal IMTs are very rare in the literature.
We discuss how this patient was managed and how she presented compared to other reported cases.
