ABSTRACT
Inflammatory myofiber tumor (IMT) is a rare borderline tumor with uncertain behavior. This tumor is also known as inflammatory tumor, hematocyte granuloma, and sometimes referred to as inflammatory fibrosarcoma. IMT is a rare tumor of mesenchymal origin and is most commonly found in the lungs of children and adolescents. It is known that it may occur mainly in the mesentery and retina, but not in the head and neck region. Herein, we report a rare case of inflammatory myofibroblastic cells in the larynx in a 9 year-old child. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2017;28:302-306)
