Abstract
Tracheal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are exceedingly uncommon. This report presents the findings from an FDG PET/CT scan in a case involving an intratracheal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. Bronchoscopy revealed a neoplastic growth on the left lateral wall of the mid-trachea. The subsequent FDG PET/CT scan demonstrated intense radiotracer uptake within the lesion, with a maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of 8.0. Post-surgical resection, immunohistochemical analysis corroborated the diagnosis of a tracheal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.
