Tumor inflamatorio miofibroblástico peritoneal. Respuesta favorable asociada a infliximab: Caso clínico
Myofibroblastic tumor (MIT) is characterized by the infiltration of different organs, most commonly the lungs, with nodular lesions composed of myofibroblasts and inflammatory cells, which can be identified by specific patterns in the immunohistochemical studies. When it involves the peritoneum it i...
