Abstract
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare affection. The diversity of its cell-composition implies the existence of various clinical, biological and radiological expressions. Only histopathologic studies enable to confirm the diagnosis. Long considered a reactional wound, recent studies tend to refer towards a neoplasic nature. Complete surgical resection is the most effective care. It minimizes the risk of recurrence and is sometimes back up by radiotherapy. To our knowledge, this case report is the first of its kind to describe a Hodgkin lymphoma- related IMT.
