Airway obstruction due to inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour of the posterior pharyngeal wall

Abstract: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour of the pharynx is extremely rare. It is regarded as a neoplastic tumour of intermediate biological potential. In cases with extrapulmonary localisation, the incidence of local recurrence can be as high as 25 per cent. Radical surgery is the treatment of choice; no adjuvant therapy is necessary.

“…Immunoglobulin (Ig)G4‐related disease was first identified as a clinicopathological entity in 2003 . IgG4‐positive plasma cell granulomas (PCGs) of the upper aerodigestive tract are rare and management recommendations are poorly defined . PCGs have previously been described as inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs), inflammatory pseudotumors, systemic fibrosis, xanthofibrogranulomatosis, and multifocal fibrosclerosis .…”
