| Popis: | Background: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare, poorly understood tumor that has been found to occur in almost every organ tissue. Its location within the central nervous system is uncommon, and patients tend to present with nonspecific symptoms. Case Description: A female in her eighth decade presented to neurosurgery clinic with complaints of headache and dizziness. Initial imaging was consistent with a low-grade, benign brain lesion in the region of the left choroidal fissure. She was recommended for observation but returned 1 month later with progressive symptoms and doubling of the lesion size. She underwent surgical resection and was found to have an IMT arising from the wall of the left anterior choroidal artery. Conclusion: Intracranial IMT remains a rare and poorly understood entity. The present case demonstrates a novel presentation of IMT in an adult patient and exemplifies the heterogeneity of the disease presentation. |
