There are a number of
causes of small bowel obstruction in infants, most commonly from congenital
causes. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the alimentary tract is a
very unusual cause of intestinal obstruction in children. IMT is a rare, benign
solid tumor that presents mostly in the pediatric population. We present a case
of a jejunal IMT causing bowel obstruction in a four month old female treated
with laparoscopic resection and bowel anastomosis.
