Abstract
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) is a rare benign neoplastic tumour, originally described as an inflammatory pseudotumor. Only a single case of IMT in the spermatic cord associated with undescended testes has been reported. We present a rare case of abdominal IMT in a male infant with undescended bilateral testes. The abdominopelvic mass was suspected to be a gonadal malignancy due to empty scrotal sac but proved to be otherwise on histopathology. Mass was completely resected and orchiopexy was performed for both undescended normal-appearing testes. The patient developed a recurrent mass 2 months later involving the left spermatic cord and the left testicle. Radical surgery was performed with removal of the left testicle and spermatic cord. The patient was disease-free at 1-year follow-up.
