Abstract

Inflammatory myofibroblastoma is a solid tumor, occurring mainly to children and young adults, and occupying 0.7% of total isolated pulmonary nodules. Since 1973, several cases about inflammatory myofibroblastoma have been reported. Firstly, this tumor was found in lungs. Then, tumors have been founded and reported in mesentery or cardioesophageal region. Histologically, this tumor can be classified as a benign tumor. However, since this tumor has two characteristics showing malignancy, that is, local invasion and recurrence, malignancy can not be completely excluded. Recently, a patient with pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastoma underwent surgical resection without any signs or symptoms of recurrence.

염증성 근섬유 아세포종은 주로 어린이와 젊은 성인에서 발생하는 고형 종양으로, 고립성 폐 결절의 약 0.7%를 차지한다. 1937년 처음으로 폐에서 발생한 예가 보고된 이후 장간막(mesentery)이나 심장 식도 부위(cardioesophageal region)에 발생한 것들이 보고되고 있다. 이것은 조직학적으로는 양성이지만 국소 침습성과 재발성 때문에 악성을 완전히 배제하기 어렵다. 최근 본 병원에서 좌측 폐에 발생한 염증성 근섬유 아세포종을 수술적 절제후 재발 소견 없이 추적 관찰 중이다.
