title: [Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of main carina: complete resection by carinectomy and reconstruction].
abstract: Myofibroblastic inflammatory tumors (MIT) of location in carina represent a diagnostic, classification, and treatment challenge, due to the scarcity of reports. The actual evidence supports the theory that MITs are lower-grade sarcomas. Here we present the case of a 23-year-old man with MIT in carina who was treated with tumor resection by carinectomy and tracheobronchial reconstruction. In spite of the few reports of these tumors in that location, the surgical treatment looking for complete resection is the gold standard of treatment.
