Abstract
Inflammatory Myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) is a rare spindle tumour that mimics malignant processes. It can affect any part of the body, but rarely occurs in the genitourinary tract. We report a case of urethral IMT in a 31-year-old pregnant female of 18 weeks gestational age. The diagnosis was established by histopathological findings. This is the first documented case in the world, as no such documentation has been made in a pregnant female.
