[Inflammatory Pulmonary Myofibroblast Tumor Suspected of Pulmonary Metastasis of the Lung Cancer;Report of a Case].

Abstract

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the lung is a rare disease. The patient underwent the chemoradiotherapy for primary left lung cancer which showed complete responce (CR) by the treatment. A different nodule of 10 mm in diameter was found in the left lung by computed tomography (CT). Positron emission tomography(PET) showed positive detection correspond to the nodule ( SUVmax 4.82). A partial lung resection was carried out, and the tumor was diagnosed as IMT pathologically.
