An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an uncommon solid neoplasm of mesenchymal origin. They are usually seen in children and adolescents commonly affect the lung, but they can nearly arise from every organ. The prevalence IMT small bowel very rare. tumors have generally a benign clinical course, with some risk local recurrence or distant metastasis. This 55-year-old male patient who presented intermittent abdominal pain, vomiting ingested matter loss appetite for 2 weeks duration. On physical examination, he had stable vital signs examination was non-revealing. Abdominal CT scan contrast showed long segment jejunojejunal intussusception. He underwent en-bloc resection mass end-to-end anastomosis jejunum. IMTs origin grouped into mixture fibroinflammatory disorders. show variable mix cells spindle cells. diagnosis preoperatively challenging often mimicking malignant lesions. confirmed by histopathology after surgery. Complete excision negative margin preferred treatment. We report rare case jejunal presenting intestinal underdiagnosed entity, should be considered differential Surgery still most favored effective treatment IMT. surgical has least chance disease recurrence.
