Abstract
Endobronchial localizations of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are very unusual. We report the multimodal, bronchoscopic management of 3 cases, offering durable local control in all cases (including 2 patients who were definitively cured). Although surgery is usually considered the gold standard, therapeutic bronchoscopy should probably be considered as a frontline option for proximal lesions with limited base (< 10 mm<sup>2</sup>) because of uncommon metastatic spread and delayed local recurrence. Of note, 1 of our cases is a rare airway case after allograft hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
