Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMT) are unusual benign tumours, also known as inflammatory pseudotumours, represent a group of fibro-inflammatory lesions of recent individualization. They are mesenchymal tumours of intermediate class, very rare and of unknown etiology. They are initially described in the lungs, but have been observed in several other locations, mainly abdominal and pelvic. Its location in the colon is exceptional. The evolutionary doubt of these tumours requires regular and long term follow-up. We report the case of a 30-year-old patient who presented with a stenosing caecal mass. After surgical removal, histological and immunohistochemical examination was in favor of a colonic (IMT). The clinical, radiological and histological characteristics of this anatomoclinical entity will be discussed in light of the data in the literature.
