Post-abdominal trauma jejunal obstruction by incidentally detected ALK-negative intestinal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour with dystrophic calcification and ossification

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are rare, intermediate-grade spindle cell neoplasms characterised by the proliferation of fibroblastic and myofibroblastic cells and are intermixed by chronic inflammatory infiltration, with an unclear aetiology. This tumour presents with a wide range of clinical manifestations, from generalised non-specific to site-specific symptoms. We report an unusual case of an incidentally detected intestinal Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-negative inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour with evidence of extensive dystrophic calcification and ossification in a male of an early fourth decade with a history of blunt abdominal trauma. This case highlights the diagnostic dilemma encountered during the evaluation and diagnosis of this tumour.
