During a colonoscopy, many biopsies have been returned to a non-specific chronic colitis; as a result, the IMT of the cecum was confirmed pathologically after ilio-coecal resection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>IMT is difined as a solid mesenchymal tumor basically affects the soft parts as well as the visceral organs.
