Nadir Görülen Bir Akciğer Tümörü: İnflamatuvar Myofibroblastik Tümör

Abstract

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rarely seen soft tissue tumor. Although it is mostly benign, its biological behaviour is controversial. We radiologically and histopathologically evalauted a female patient admitted to our outpatient clinic due to complaint of cough. Histopathologic diagnosis of mass lesion identified at lower lobe of right lung was reported as inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. We aimed to present this rare case which is not radiologically differentiable from malignant tumors along with literature data. Differentiating IMT from malignant tumor with radiologic findings is difficult. Both treatment and the diagnosis are possible with total resection.
