Abstract:
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an uncommon neoplasm that predominantly affects children and young adults. It can occur in soft tissues throughout the body, most commonly in the lungs, but it is rare in the larynx. A 24-year-old woman presented to the respiratory department of our hospital with breathing difficulties. Following a cervical computed tomography scan that identified a laryngeal mass, she was referred to our department for further management. The patient underwent transoral endoscopic plasma resection for laryngeal IMT under general anesthesia. The postoperative pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of IMT. The patient had a favorable postoperative outcome, with no recurrence observed during follow-up.
