Abstract
Inflammatory myofbroblastic tumor in the lung is a rare tumor. The etiology is not clear. This tumor in children is a benign tumor rarely presented with local invasiveness, recurrence, distant metastasis or malignant changes can occur. The complete surgical resection is chosen as the optimal management. A 12-years-old boy visited the outpatient clinic with a 4 cm sized pulmonary mass in left upper lung field. The patient underwent left upper lobectomy. Histopathologically, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor was confirmed. The patient was discharged without any problems and there was no evidence of recurrence during 3 months follow-up.
