Endobronchial Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of Right Lower Lobar Bronchus / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor was widely known as inflammatory pseudotumor, commonly developed as a solid mass in lung.The endobronchial inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a very rare case where only a few cases have been reported.We report a 13-year-old girl who had coughing for 5 months.The simple chest X-ray and computued tomography of the chest revealed a mass which obstructed the right lower lobe bronchus and pneumonic consolidation.The fiberoptic bronchoscopic finding was mostly gelatinous,gray-yellowish mass that obstructed the airway of right lower lobe bronchus nearly,and was considered as a chondroid hamartoma pathologically.Right lower lobectomy of lung was performed.The mass was confirmed as a endobronchial inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.The patient was discharged without complication and with outpatient followup.
