Abstract

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a benign lesion in pathology. However it may be associated with the invasion of adjacent structures mimicking malignancy. We describe a case of aggressive pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor with chest wall invasion and spine destruction.

염증성근섬유모세포종은 병리적으로는 양성 병변이나 드물게 주변 구조물을 침범하여 악성 병변으로 오인할 수 있다. 저자들은 흉벽과 흉추로의 침범을 동반한 폐의 염증성근섬유모세포종 1예를 보고하고자 한다.
