Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare occurring benign tumor composed of myofibroblastic spindle cells. Lung inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is difficult to diagnose and may mimic lung cancer or infectious etiology. Surgical intervention with final histopathologic confirmation remains the mainstay of diagnosis. We report an incidental finding of a pediatric case of lung inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor with clinical presentation, management, and outcomes at more than 2 years of follow-up at a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia.
炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤是一种罕见的由肌纤维母细胞性梭形细胞组成的良性肿瘤。肺炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤难以诊断,可能会被误诊为肺癌或感染性病因。最终经组织病理学确诊的手术干预仍是主要的诊断方法。我们报告了沙特阿拉伯一家三级医疗医院的1例小儿肺炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤的偶然发现病例,该病例有临床表现、治疗方法,并进行了2年多的随访。
