Abstract:
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, previously named inflammatory pseudotumor, is a biologically borderline mesenchymal neoplasm often associated with an inflammatory infiltrate. The incidence of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor has been found to range from 0.04% to 1.2%, with endobronchial cases being extremely rare. The treatment of choice for pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is complete surgical resection. However, disease recurrence has been reported. Modalities used to treat recurrent and metastatic disease include surgical resection and corticosteroids. We present a case of recurrent endobronchial inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor that was successfully treated endoscopically with rigid bronchoscopy and laser debulking without need for further surgical intervention.

Consider two children sitting on a seesaw, which has negligible mass. The first child has a mass (m1) of 26 kg and sits at point A, which is 1.6 meters (r1) from the pivot point B; the second child has a mass (m2) of 32 kg and sits at point C. How far from the pivot point B should the second child sit (r2) to balance the seesaw?
