Publication An Obstructed Malignant Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour of the Rectum(Kathmandu University, 2018) Zainal Abidin, ZA; Azizan, N; Hayati, F; Mra, A; Mohd Azman, ZAABSTRACT Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour is rare but more common in children. It shows an immunophenotypic features of myofibroblastic differentiation, hence bearing neoplastic potential. The diagnosis is challenging especially if it involves rectum. Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment if clinically obstructed. A 65-year-old gentleman presented with intestinal obstruction, which then followed by a hartmann’s procedure. Final diagnosis is a rare case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour of the rectum. We discuss its genetic involvement with a literature review.

Her right hypochondrium was tender and guarding upon assessment. The laboratory investigations were unremarkable. Due to a diagnostic incongruity, computed tomography of the abdomen was performed showing a suspicious lesion at anterolateral aspect of the ascending colon. Surgical intervention was decided and intraoperative finding was consistent with spontaneous omental infarction. Omentectomy was undertaken and final histology was compatible with the intraoperative diagnosis. Although it is exceptional, omental infarction should be considered as part of the differential diagnoses of right-sided acute abdominal pain with normal laboratory investigations. This case highlights its unexpected discovery and we describe its literature reviews. KEY WORDS Acute abdomen, Appendicitis, Cholecystitis, Infarction, Omentum
