Özet
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.
