    Author: Prabhu SM, Choudhury SR, Solanki RS, Shetty GS.
    Journal: Jpn J Radiol; 2012 Jun; 30(5):453-7. PubMed ID: 22411437.
    Abstract:
    Pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour is the most common benign pulmonary tumour in childhood; however it is seldom diagnosed radiologically. We report three cases of biopsy-proven inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour that presented as large aggressive intrathoracic masses mimicking a malignant process. Two cases also had multifocal areas of origin. The possibility of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour should be considered in a child presenting with a large aggressive pleuropulmonary mass lesion even with multifocal origin.
