“…Additionally, IMT occasionally occurs in the trachea, stomach, and small intestine ( 4 - 6 ). The first-choice treatment for IMT (especially pulmonary IMT) is a R0 resection, preferably with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery ( 7 , 8 ). Given the low incidence of IMT, and the lack of imaging references and pathological guidance, the misdiagnosis rate of IMT is high.…”

Pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are rarely reported in adult males.Given the low incidence of IMT and the lack of imaging references and pathological guidance, the misdiagnosis rate of IMT is high. In this article, we describe two cases of IMTs in the lungs. Both patients were adult males with lesions in the right lobe, a history of pulmonary tuberculosis, and a long period of refractory intermittent pulmonary inflammation. Our two male patients both experienced intermittent cough symptoms, but pulmonary IMTs were not suspected for a long time. Both patients were diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis before IMT was confirmed and treated with isoniazid (H), rifampin (R), pyrazinamide (Z), and ethambutol (E) (HRZE) or isoniazid (H), levofloxacin (L), pyrazinamide (Z), and ethambutol (E) (HLZE) for months. In Case 2, we observed multiple subpleural cord signs in the left lung, soft tissue mass shadows at the apex of the right upper lobe, a thickened interlobular interval, and scattered patches and nodules in the upper right lung. These features are novel in the identification of IMTs. Both of the pathological findings revealed a great deal of myofibroblasts, fibroblasts and collagen fibers in the lower right lung lesion, accompanied by a large number of plasma cells and foam cell infiltration, which were consistent with the features of IMT. The two patients displayed exceedingly different symptoms, computed tomography (CT) imaging features, and pathological results from those reported in traditional records.These findings provide novel references that will extend understandings of this rare disease.

A Rare Case of Inflammatory Myofibroblastoma of Diaphragm

et al. 2012

Inflammatory myofibroblastoma is a distinctive pseudosarcomatous lesion that occurs primarily in the viscera and soft tissue of children and young adults. It is composed of myofibroblastic spindle cells accompanied by an inflammatory infiltrate of plasma cells, lymphocytes, and eosinophils. We report a 41-year-old man who presented with progressive dyspnea and pain in the right hypochondrium for 6 months. USG abdomen revealed a well-defined hypoechoic rounded mass in the subdiaphragmatic region. CT thorax and abdomen revealed a large hypodense mass in posterosuperior aspect of the right lobe of liver, right pleural effusion and basal consolidation of the right lung. Right thoracotomy was performed. The tumor mass was arising from the right side of diaphragm. Total surgical excision was done. On histomorphology and immunohistochemical analysis, a diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastoma was done. Following excision the patient was completely relieved of dyspnea and pain. There was no recurrence on follow-up for 2 years.
