Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour Presenting as Posterior Mediastinal Mass in a Child – A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Posterior mediastinal tumours in children are difficult to diagnose due to non-specific clinical symptoms. Most of them are neurogenic in origin. However, large pulmonary neoplasms in children may also present as posterior mediastinal masses and may be misinterpreted as neurogenic tumour. We report a case of 6-year female child with recurrent vomiting who had inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour of the right lung which presented as posterior mediastinal mass on computed tomography.
