Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor: a case of a rare tumor of lung
Journal Title: Current Thoracic Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare thoracic lesion, the diagnosis of which should be supported by histological and immunochemical examinations. Although this is known as a benign tumor, it should be completely resected, and patients should be closely monitored to avoid any local invasion or recurrence. This article presents a 34-year-old female patient who has endobronchial polypoid IMT that is rarely seen among IMT patients. Inferior lobectomy and lymph node sampling was performed. The patient had no local recurrence and metastasis free at the end of first year postoperatively and follow-up is ongoing.
