Abstract

A 63‑year‑old female patient who had undergone cholecystectomy for inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) in the gallbladder was referred to our hospital. The patient's disease relapsed, involving the pancreas, and was diagnosed as inoperable IMT 13 months after the cholecystectomy. The patient failed to respond to steroid and non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drug therapy, but subsequently exhibited a good response to vinorelbine and methotrexate combination chemotherapy. Little information is currently available on the efficacy of chemotherapy for adult‑onset IMT. The present case suggests that chemotherapy with vinorelbine and methotrexate is a viable therapeutic option for adult patients with unresectable IMT.
