“…Although there are some reports on IMTs being managed with therapeutic bronchoscopy alone, 2,14,26,41,53,54 we found at least 5 instances in which bronchoscopy had to be followed up with surgery for either complete removal or recurrence (Tables 1, 2). 31,36,44,47 Thus, therapeutic bronchoscopy has a limited role in management of these tumors. In patients presenting acutely with respiratory symptoms, the rigid bronchoscope can be used to debulk the tumor for relief of airway obstruction, as was done in our case.…”

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are uncommon tumors, which present as solitary masses in the pulmonary parenchyma. Tracheal involvement by these tumors is extremely rare and can be misdiagnosed as asthma. The closest histologic differential diagnoses are IgG4-related sclerosing pseudotumors, which are differentiated by IgG4 positivity. Fifty percent of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are positive for anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene rearrangements. The treatment modality of choice is surgical resection with therapeutic bronchoscopy reserved for patients presenting with acute airway obstruction or in those unwilling for surgery. New and upcoming treatments include anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitors like crizotinib.

“…Some authors have reported bronchoscopic resection of inflammatory pseudotumors, endobronchial carcinoids and haemangiomas [124][125][126][127]. Respiratory papillomas affecting the tracheobronchial tree can be removed endoscopically with a laser or microdebrider [128].…”

ERS statement: interventional bronchoscopy in children

Paediatric airway endoscopy is accepted as a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure, with an expanding number of indications and applications in children. The aim of this European Respiratory Society task force was to produce a statement on interventional bronchoscopy in children, describing the evidence available at present and current clinical practice, and identifying areas deserving further investigation. The multidisciplinary task force panel performed a systematic review of the literature, focusing on whole lung lavage, transbronchial and endobronchial biopsy, transbronchial needle aspiration with endobronchial ultrasound, foreign body extraction, balloon dilation and occlusion, laser-assisted procedures, usage of airway stents, microdebriders, cryotherapy, endoscopic intubation, application of drugs and other liquids, and caregiver perspectives. There is a scarcity of published evidence in this field, and in many cases the task force had to resort to the collective clinical experience of the committee to develop this statement. The highlighted gaps in knowledge underline the need for further research and serve as a call to paediatric bronchoscopists to work together in multicentre collaborations, for the benefit of children with airway disorders.

“…Since then, various synonyms such as inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT), inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) or plasma cell granulomas have been used to describe this inflammatory solid tumor containing spindle cells, myofibroblasts, plasma cells and histiocytes [3]. Up to now, IPT has been reported to involve a variety of organs and tissues in the body.…”

BackgroundInflammatory pseudotumor is an unusual benign entity that can mimic malignancy in many different organ systems.Case presentationWe present a patient with a neck mass, which clinically and radiologically appeared to be a malignant tumor that encircled a segment of the left common carotid artery. The operation was performed and further histopathological evaluation confirmed this mass to be an inflammatory pseudotumor. After 4 years follow up, no recurrence was observed for this patient.ConclusionsDespite its rarity, IPT is important because it can simulate neoplastic disease. The contrast imaging may be helpful in differential diagnosis, but no findings are characteristic. The diagnosis of the IPT of carotid artery can be challenging for the surgeons. Certain diagnosis depends on either core biopsy or intra- or post-operative pathological examination. The surgical excision may be a curative option.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12872-015-0020-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
