Abstract
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) rarely affect the head and neck region. IMTs of the head and neck regions account for 14-18% of extra-pulmonary IMTs. Most commonly, they are located in the region of the orbits and upper airways, and less often at other sites. In the present study, we reviewed the English-language literature regarding the etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of IMTs of the head and neck.Entities:
