Abstract
BACKGROUND Granular Cell Tumor (GCT) is an uncommon benign lesion in the oral cavity whose pathogenesis remains poorly understood. Due to their infrequent occurrence and similarity to other oral lesions, they are often forgotten during the initial clinical diagnosis. Therefore, understanding its prevalence, clinical and pathological characteristics is crucial for an accurate diagnosis and adequate management. METHODS All cases diagnosed as GCTs in six Brazilian and Argentinian oral diagnostic centers were re-evaluated by HE staining, and clinical, demographic, and histopathological data were collected and evaluated. RESULTS The series comprised 45 female (73.8%) and 16 male (26.2%), with a 2.8:1 female-to-male ratio and a mean age of 35.3 ± 16.9 years (range: 7-77 years). Most cases occurred on the tongue (n = 49; 81.6%) and presented clinically as asymptomatic papules or nodules (n = 50; 89.3%) with a normochromic (n = 25; 45.5%) or yellowish (n = 11; 20.0%) coloration and sizes ranging from 0.2 to 3.0 cm (mean ± SD: 1.40 ± 0.75 cm). Morphologically, most tumors were characterized by a poorly delimited proliferation (n = 52; 88.1%) of cells typically rounded to polygonal containing abundant, eosinophilic, finely granular cytoplasm. Pustulo-ovoid bodies of Milian were identified in all lesions (n = 61; 100%). Entrapment of skeletal striated muscle (n = 44; 72.1%) and nerve fibers (n = 42; 68.9%) were common findings. Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia (PEH) was observed in 23 cases (39.0%). In only 27.7% of cases (n = 13) there was agreement between the clinical and histopathological diagnosis. Outcome information was available from 16 patients (26.2%), with clinical follow-up ranging from 4 to 36 months (mean 13.3 months), and none developed local recurrence. CONCLUSIONS The clinical and histopathological features of GCTs were consistent with those described in previous studies. In general, these lesions have a predilection for the lateral region of the tongue in adult women. It is essential to consider GCTs in the differential diagnosis of yellow or normochromic papules and nodules in the oral cavity. Histopathological evaluation is essential for the definitive diagnosis and the prognosis is excellent.

Abstract
PURPOSE Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT), which is also named as plasma cell granuloma (PCG) or inflammatory pseudotumour (IPT), is a rare tumour which rarely develops in the colorectal region. We aimed to review all reported cases to draw attention about this rare tumour. METHODS We present two new cases of colonic IMT with no recurrence during the follow-up period. We also reviewed previously reported colorectal IMT/IPT/PCG patients to investigate demographics, diagnosis and treatment modalities. RESULTS A total of 60 patients which including our 2 patients and 58 patients from 42 published articles were analysed. Male/female ratio was 34/26. Mean age was found to be 31.84 ± 22.26 years (9 months-82 years). Abdominal pain (56.7%) and fever (23.3%) were the most common complaints in the first admission. Fifty-nine (98.3%) out of 60 patients underwent surgery. During follow-up, 7 (14.3%) patients developed a local recurrence. CONCLUSION IMT may occur at any age. IMT is considered to be a borderline tumour with the potential for recurrence or distant metastasis. Complete resection of the tumour is recommended for treatment. Long-time follow-up is necessary due to recurrence potential of the tumour even many years after complete surgical resection. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study follows the regulation of the Institutional Review Board for human research at Izmir Katip Celebi University Ataturk Training and Research Hospital. Written informed consents were obtained from the patients who participated in this study.

Abstract
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMFT) of the colon is a very rare entity, characterized by proliferation of myofibroblast cells admixed with inflammatory infiltrates. The entity was first described in the late 1990s, and since then less than 30 cases have been described. It frequently mimics other neoplasm of the colon, such as adenocarcinoma, lymphoma and stromal tumor, and is very difficult to clinch the diagnosis preoperatively based on the clinical and radiological findings. Here, we discuss an uncommon case of sigmoid IMFT in a 35-year old male, presenting with bleeding per rectum and managed successfully by colectomy.

Abstract
Introduction:
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare but real tumor, which is histologically characterized by myofibroblastic spindle cells proliferation with inflammatory infiltrate. The lung is the most common affected organ, and extrapulmonary IMTs are less common. However, IMT seldom presents in the gastrointestinal tract, and intussusception is a rare complication of this tumor.
Case presentation:
We documented this rare case of a 12-year-old Chinese girl presenting with abdominal pain. The clinical and radiologic impression was bowel intussusception and bowel obstruction. No sign of abdominal mass was found before surgery, neither physical examination nor radiologic images. Operative findings revealed intestinal intussusception secondary to a little mass. Histopathlogic evaluation of this mass revealed IMT.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, IMT may present with bowel intussusception. However, at the intestinal location, the tumor may be found as an abdominal mass or may be insidious; hence, detailed history, physical examination, and imaging studies are necessary for early recognition and diagnosis.

Abstract
The purpose of the present review is to analyze the cytohistological and immunohistochemical characteristics of spindle-shaped mesenchymal gastrointestinal neoplams (MGNs), a group of unusual neoplastic conditions with different biological behavior. These tumors exhibit clinical pictures strictly related to the site of origin and dimensions, even if they appear generally with an intramural localization. This latter point may suggest an useful application of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA), mainly followed by the cell-block procedure (CBP) in the differential diagnostic approach. First of all, we discuss the most common entity of MGNs represented by gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), analyzing the morphologic characteristics and stressing the strength of immunohistochemical algorithm for diagnostic purposes. Successively, we have reported the less common group of spindle-shaped MGNs comprehensive of those arising elsewhere the soft tissues, such as leiomyomas, leiomyosarcomas, schwannomas, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor and intra-abdominal desmoid fibromatosis. Finally, very uncommon spindle-shaped MGNs, like clear cell, follicular dendritic cell, undifferentiated pleomorphic and radiation-induced sarcomas as well as spindle cell dedifferentiated liposarcomas, have been briefly mentioned.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intussusception is defined as a segment of the gastrointestinal tract and mesentery within the lumen of an adjacent segment. It is a rare condition in adults that can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract from the stomach to the rectum. Only 5% of all intussusceptions are presented in adults, and in 1-5% of all cases of intestinal obstruction. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour is rare, and is usually found in the lung, and rarely detected in some intestinal portions. It causes a variety of non-specific symptoms, with those that present as an intussusception being uncommon. CLINICAL CASE A female of 69 years with partial bowel obstruction secondary to intestinal intussusception due to an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour, a rarely diagnosed condition and never published before. DISCUSSION Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours are rare, and in this case with an atypical presentation that was surgically resolved satisfactorily. These entities are difficult to diagnose, with histopathology giving the definitive diagnosis. A literature review was performed to gather recent information about their diagnosis and treatment. CONCLUSIONS Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours require a high level of suspicion, as diagnosis prior to surgery is difficult. Surgery is considered the treatment of choice, requiring leaving free surgical edges to prevent recurrences.

Abstract
Inflammatory myfibroblastic tumor (IMT), also known as inflammatory pseudotumor is unusual, benign solid tumor. This tumor is commonly reported in the lungs but can be present in extrapulmonary sites as well. We present the case of a 7-year-old girl with IMT in an unusual location. The patient was admitted with abdominal pain, and ultrasound showed a solid mass in the abdomen. She was operated and colocolic intussusception secondary to a mass was found. Histologic evaluation of mass revealed IMT.
