Abstract：Objective To analyze pathological features of cystitis inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor ( IMT) . Methods From March 2012 to January 2013, data of 3 cases of cystitis inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors in our hospital were analyzed and recor-ded. Results The clinical symptoms of all the patients manifested as hematuria. Tumors were gray white and jelly like, with clear boundary and no capsule. Tumor cells were stellate-like, spindle-shaped, and fascicle-arranged, with mucinous degeneration in in-terstices, infiltrated with mixed inflammatory cells. there was no recurrence according to the follow-up result. Conclusion Cystitis inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare middle-typed tumor with potential malignant possibility, which involves invasive growth of hyperplastic nodules of spindle cells, being easier to be confused with embryonic Rhabdomyosarcoma in adolescents, so there is the need to be identified with Leiomyosarcoma and carcinoma sarcomatoid among adults.
