Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) is a rare neoplastic condition, commonly known as inflammatory pseudotumour, which is the most frequent primary tumour of the lung in childhood. IMT can have an extrapulmonary location, but is infrequent in the brain and mediastinum, and it is extremely unusual that both lesions appear simultaneously as in our patient. The definitive diagnosis is established by biopsy, but there are some MRI findings that can be useful to identify the lesion.
炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤(IMT)是一种罕见的肿瘤性疾病,通常被称为炎性假瘤,是儿童期最常见的原发性肺部肿瘤。IMT可发生于肺外,但在脑和纵隔中较少见,像我们的患者这样两个部位同时出现病变的情况极为罕见。确诊需通过活检,但一些MRI表现对识别该病变可能有用。
