Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare tumor; characterized by a proliferation of myofibroblasts associated with inflammatory reaction cells and which can be observed at the various anatomical sites. The pancreas represents a very rare localization of this tumor. Surgery is the standard treatment, but for inoperable tumors; there is no consensus. We report a case of an inextirpable pancreatic IMT in a 46-years-old woman and we also carry out a literature review.
