Abstract
The inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) has been only fairly recently
identified and studied in human medicine. It is commonly found as a primary lung tumor, and
most often affects children and young adults. It is usually benign, with a low rate of recurrence
and low metatstatic potential. However, diagnosis of this neoplasm is often confusing and
controversial, making the potential for misdiagnosis high. The IMT is virtually unheard of in
veterinary medicine. Thus, it is with great excitement that we present a case report of an orbital
inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in a dog with the hope of bringing the IMT into the
consciousness of mainstream veterinary medicine.
