Review Case Reports
Rectal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor: Case report and literature review.
Rectal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an extremely rare mesenchymal tumor characterized by a mixture of spindle-shaped myofibroblasts or fibroblasts and inflammatory infiltration of lymphocytes and plasma cells. To date, only 8 cases of rectal IMT have been reported. Herein, we report an additional case of rectal IMT in a 28-year-old woman. ⋯ Rectal IMT, despite its rarity, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of rectal cancer. Second, an accurate histopathologic diagnosis and complete surgical resection can be the most important approaches to offer a chance for the cure of rectal IMT.

Nursing intervention maybe significantly improve patients' anxiety, psychology and self-efficacy, and nursing intervention was significantly correlated with patients' anxiety, psychology and self-efficacy. Considering the limited number of studies analyzed, large sample-size clinical trials are necessary to verify the effect nursing intervention on anxiety, psychology and self-efficacy among elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome after percutaneous coronary intervention.
