Although the lung is considered the most common site of occurrence, IMTs may arise in diverse extrapulmonary locations. We describe a case of a colonic IMT in a patient who presented in the emergency setting. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case History<\/jats:title><jats:p> A 77-year-old man was admitted at our emergency department with acute abdominal pain. Physical examination revealed vague tenderness of the lower abdomen and non-palpable masses. Preoperative evaluation revealed a mass in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen, possibly originating from the terminal ileum, 1\u20132cm from the caecum. Owing to the clinical impression of a potentially malignant lesion, the patient underwent subtotal colectomy and omentectomy. The pathology report suggested the morphological and immunohistochemical features were more compatible with a colonic IMT. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p> A colorectal IMT is a rare clinical entity that can easily mimic a highly malignant tumour and cannot be distinguished clinically or radiologically. An accurate diagnosis is based on histological examination and surgical resection is therefore usually required. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1308\/rcsann.2017.0064","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,2]],"date-time":"2017-05-02T11:23:22Z","timestamp":1493724202000},"page":"e151-e153","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Inflammatory pseudotumour of the colon"],"prefix":"10.1308","volume":"99","author":[{"given":"I","family":"Spyrou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Davakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D","family":"Moris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Lakiotaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"N","family":"Dimitrokallis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Papalampros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D","family":"Schizas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Pikoulis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Felekouras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"171","reference":[{"key":"bib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v21.i2.704"},{"key":"bib2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"E190","DOI":"10.1177\/000313481207800329","volume":"78","author":"Chatzikokolis S","year":"2012","journal-title":"Am Surg"},{"key":"bib3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5301\/tj.5000353"},{"key":"bib4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/AJR.11.7288"},{"key":"bib5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1026665609461"}],"container-title":["The Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/publishing.rcseng.ac.uk\/doi\/pdf\/10.1308\/rcsann.2017.0064","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,15]],"date-time":"2023-05-15T10:52:09Z","timestamp":1684147929000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/publishing.rcseng.ac.uk\/doi\/10.1308\/rcsann.2017.0064"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,5]]},"references-count":5,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2017,5]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1308\/rcsann.2017.0064"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1308\/rcsann.2017.0064","relation":{},"ISSN":["0035-8843","1478-7083"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0035-8843","type":"print"},{"value":"1478-7083","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,5]]}}}
