Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT), also known as inflammatory pseudotumor, is a benign disorder composed of fibrous tissues, myofibroblasts and inflammatory cell proliferation with obscure etiology. Although it is the most common lung tumor in children, it is seen rarely in adults constituting less than 1% of adult lung tumors.
In this report, we present different and rare CT manifestations of three adult patients with lung IMT.
In conclusion, IMT is a rare lung tumor in adults and may simulate malignancy. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a large mass with lobulated contour or harboring coarse calcification is observed.
炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤（IMT），也称为炎性假瘤，是一种由纤维组织、肌成纤维细胞和炎症细胞增殖组成的良性疾病，病因不明。尽管它是儿童最常见的肺部肿瘤，但在成人中很少见，占成人肺部肿瘤的比例不到1%。
在本报告中，我们展示了3例成人肺部IMT患者不同且罕见的CT表现。
总之，IMT是成人罕见的肺部肿瘤，可能类似恶性肿瘤。当观察到轮廓呈分叶状或伴有粗大钙化的大肿块时，应在鉴别诊断中予以考虑。
