Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare benign neoplasm, mainly involving the lungs of the children. It represents 0.7% of all lung tumors. It was first described by Brunn in 1939.2 Diagnosis is very difficult and often only possible after resection of the tumor. We would like to present a case of pulmonary IMT in a 13-year-old girl who presented with symptoms like cough, shortness of breath, and chest discomfort. Chest X ray and computed tomography revealed the presence of a right lower lobe lung mass. Its clinical and radiological findings were diverse and non specific. The mass was removed in toto, histopathology confirmed the inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the lung. Intraoperative and postoperative courses were uneventful. The patient has been without any signs of relapse 2 years after the surgery.
炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤（IMT）是一种罕见的良性肿瘤，主要累及儿童肺部。它占所有肺部肿瘤的0.7%。1939年由布伦首次描述。诊断非常困难，通常只有在肿瘤切除后才有可能。我们想介绍一例13岁女孩的肺部IMT病例，该女孩表现出咳嗽、气短和胸部不适等症状。胸部X线和计算机断层扫描显示右下叶肺部有肿块。其临床和放射学表现多样且无特异性。肿块被完整切除，组织病理学证实为肺部炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤。手术中和术后过程均顺利。患者术后2年无任何复发迹象。
