Resumen

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) belongs to the group of pseudo inflammatory tumours, composed of fusiform cells mixed with mature plasma cells and inflammatory cells. It is frequently described in the abdomen, pelvis, lung and retroperitoneum in paediatric and adolescent patients. Presentation in the mammary gland is extremely rare (27 cases described in the literature), which is why its natural history, recurrence and metastatic potential remain under study. We present the case of a postmenopausal patient, who was treated with conservation surgery, as well as a review of the literature of this entity.
