Abstract

A 17-month-old male infant with history of an abnormal chest shadow in the left lung lower lobe was admitted to our hospital for the resection of the malformation. At 9 months of age, he was admitted to his local hospital because of a persistent cough. The chest CT scan in his local hospital indicated a cystic lesion in the left lung lower lobe associated with inflammation. However, no thoracic abnormalities were seen in antenatal ultrasonography, and no clinical symptoms were observed at birth. After anti-inflammatory treatments given to this infant, he achieved remission and was discharged from his local hospital.

Keywords: imaging diagnosis; inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor; lung cystic lesion; pathological diagnosis.
