Abstract
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is considered one of the rarest benign tumors constituting 0.7% of all lung neoplasms. It was first described in 1939. We report a case of a 10-year-old child who presented with recurrent cough and fever. Chest radiography and computed tomography demonstrated complete involvement of right lung by the tumor. The tumor along with the affected lung was meticulously dissected from the surrounding structures and was delivered outside. The histopathology of the specimen revealed it to be inflammatory fibroblastoma.
期刊介绍：
The Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals is an international peer-reviewed journal pertaining to cardiovascular and thoracic medicine. Besides original clinical manuscripts, we welcome research reports, product reviews, reports of new techniques, and findings of special significance to Asia and the Pacific Rim. Case studies that have significant novel original observations, are instructive, include adequate methodological details and provide conclusions. Workshop proceedings, meetings and book reviews, letters to the editor, and meeting announcements are encouraged along with relevant articles from authors.
