An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare lesion with an uncertain prognosis and a disorder difficult to classify. IMTs are a heterogeneous group of lesions, sometimes indistinguishable from meningiomas and other expanding or inflammatory lesions of the central nervous system.

A patient with IMT, who presented with recurrent retroocular pain radiating to the occipital region and no neurologic deficits, had early recurrence in spite of total resection of the lesion ¹⁾.
