An intrabronchial inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor treated with argon plasma and cryotherapy

Abstract

Inflamatuvar miyofibroblastik akciger tumoru nadir gorulen, malign olmayan, asemptomatik veya cesitli klinik bulgularla seyreden bir tumordur. Muhtemelen reaktif dogaya sahip benign bir lezyondur. Temel morfolojik ozelligi degisken sayida ve tipte inflamatuvar hucrelerle birlikte igsi hucre (miyoblastlar ve fibroblastlar) proliferasyonudur. Bu yazida, sag trakeobronsiyal acidan kaynaklanan inflamatuvar psodotumor saptanan 18 yasinda bir kadin hasta sunuldu. Anah tar soz cuk ler: Kriyoterapi; endobronsiyal ultrason; inflamatuvar miyofibroblastik tumor. Inflammatory myofibroblastic lung tumor is a rare and non-malignant neoplasm which can either be asymptomatic or be characterized by variable clinical expressions. It is a benign lesion, most likely reactive in nature. Its basic morphological characteristic is spindle cell (myoblasts and fibroblasts) proliferation which vary in number and type of inflammatory cells. In this article, we present an 18-yearold female patient with an intratracheal inflammatory pseudotumor arising from the right tracheobronchial angle.
