Transtracheal endoscopic-assisted resection of a rare inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour in adult trachea: a case report.

We describe an 18-year-old woman who presented with respiratory difficulty to the emergency department. On clinical examination, the patient had complete absence of breath sounds on the right side of the chest. CT of the chest and virtual bronchoscopy revealed a polypoidal soft tissue mass lesion involving the carina with occlusion of right main bronchus. Endoscopic-assisted resection was performed under general anaesthesia and the final pathological diagnosis was tracheal IMT. PMID: 29967553 [PubMed - in process]
