Abstract: | A 45-year-old man presented with a six-month history of progressive dyspnea with productive cough and wheezing. The patient
was a heavy smoker and had a history of tongue cancer, hypertension, and asthma. Chest X-ray and computed tomography showed
a mass lesion in the left hilar region and total collapse of the upper left lobe of the lung. Bronchoscopy revealed a whitish
solid tumor obstructing the left upper lobe bronchus. Positron emission tomography showed increased tracer uptake in the lesion.
A thoracoscopic lobectomy of the left upper lobe of the lung was performed. The final pathologic diagnosis was inflammatory
myofibroblastic tumor. |
