An intrabronchial inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor treated with argon plasma and cryotherapy

İnflamatuvar miyofibroblastik akciğer tümörü nadir görülen, malign olmayan, asemptomatik veya çeşitli klinik bulgularla seyreden bir tümördür. Muhtemelen reaktif doğaya sahip benign bir lezyondur. Temel morfolojik özelliği değişken sayıda ve tipte inflamatuvar hücrelerle birlikte iğsi hücre (miyoblastlar ve fibroblastlar) proliferasyonudur. Bu yazıda, sağ trakeobronşiyal açıdan kaynaklanan inflamatuvar psödotümör saptanan 18 yaşında bir kadın hasta sunuldu.

Argon plasma koagülasyon ve kriyoterapi ile tedavi edilen intrabronşiyal inflamatuvar miyofibroblastik tümör

Inflammatory myofibroblastic lung tumor is a rare and non-malignant neoplasm which can either be asymptomatic or be characterized by variable clinical expressions. It is a benign lesion, most likely reactive in nature. Its basic morphological characteristic is spindle cell (myoblasts and fibroblasts) proliferation which vary in number and type of inflammatory cells. In this article, we present an 18-yearold female patient with an intratracheal inflammatory pseudotumor arising from the right tracheobronchial angle.
