DOIAbstract
International audienceInflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) are rare benign tumors, most commonly arising in the lungs and urinary bladder. Many etiologic factors are suspected in their development, but none have been formally demonstrated. Conventional treatment for bladder IMT is complete surgical resection by partial cystectomy or transurethral resection. We report the case of an 8-year-old girl with documented bladder IMT that resolved completely after antibiotic therapy. (C) 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved
