Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) are rare tumors. They were originally described in the lung, but they have been now observed in many others locations, mainly abdominal and pelvic. These tumors are usually benign but their recurrent nature and the presence of an abnormality of chromosome band 2p23 in some of them, suggest that some lesions form a true tumor entity. Surgical excision as complete as possible is the gold standard treatment. We report the case of a 38 years old female, who presented a recurrent metastasizing inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor causing lactic acidosis and other biological abnormalities such as hypercalcemia, hypoalbuminemia, hypoglycemia, disseminated intravascular coagulation and inflammatory syndrome.
