Abstract
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare neoplasm, most commonly seen in children and adolescents. It can occur in nearly every part of the body. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare neoplasm mostly seen in the lungs, but also in extrapulmonary sites. But it may rarely be seen in the vical cord. We report a case of a 73-year-old men presented with hoarseness and cough. Laryngoscopy reveals a large non-ulcerated, red subepithelial mass arising from the right vical cord. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan revealed a mass in the right vical cord, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enhanced scan showed the mass of the right vical cord inhomogeneous enhancement. The patient underwent right cordectomy with KTP laser, and further assessment of the tissue demonstrated a pathologic diagnosis of IMT.
