| Popis: | Introduction Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the trachea is rare tumor mostly found in children and young adults. Case report We report a case of a 28 year-old woman who presented chronic isolated coughing. Chest CT scan showed a tracheal tumor. Rigid bronchoscopy allowed the complete removal of the tumor, and histology confirmed the diagnosis of IMT. 12 months follow-up found no recurrence. Discussion IMT is a rare tumor exhibiting both benign and aggressive behaviour. The endoscopic approach of tracheal should be considered when there is a minimal tracheal wall invasion. Conclusion Through this case, we want to emphasise the role of rigid bronchoscopy in the complete removal of endotracheal IMT. Highlights • Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor can be considered a neoplasm due to its recurrence and invasive character. • Clinical signs are non-specific, and can mimic other pathology. • Diagnosis is confirmed by histological findings of spindle shaped cells and inflammatory infiltrate of plasma cells. • Complete resection could be obtained by rigid bronchoscopy. |
