Abstract

Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour is a controversial lesion as it was previously presumed to be an inflammatory lesion. However due to its infiltrative growth pattern, its neoplastic potential is a matter of interest. In this case report we studied a female in her third decade of life who presented with symptoms of superior vena caval obstruction and was radiologically diagnosed as Pancoast Tumour. In pathological examination it showed evidence of the histological features of Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour.

Keywords: Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour, Pancoast Tumour, Left Lung.
