Introduction: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm, particularly in the pediatric lung. It often mimics malignancy clinically and radiologically, which can pose diagnostic challenges. Conclusions: IMT should be included in the differential diagnosis of pediatric pulmonary masses causing bronchial obstruction. Complete surgical excision is associated with favorable outcomes, even in cases with aggressive radiologic features.
