Abstract：Objective To explore the CT features of inflammatory myofibrblastic tumor(IMT)of the lung, so as to improve the diagnostic level of IMT.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the CT performance,clinical data and pathological report of 12 cases of IMT of the lung,which were confirmed by pathology.Results 9 cases occurred in pulmo dexter,3 cases occurred in left lung.3 cases had well difined margins,4 cases had ill difine margins,3 cases had slightly lobulated margins, and 2 cases had burr.4 cases' shape characterized as peach,4 cases showed evenness straight sign,3 cases'edge of lesions had scattered sarcoidosis.7 cases were examined by dynamic contrast-enhanced CT, which demonstrated homogeneous or inhomogeneous de-layed enhancement in solid lesions of lumps of all the 7 cases,but no enhancement in hypodense.Conclusion There are charac-teristic appearances on the CT features of inflammatory myofibrblastic tumor(IMT)of the lung.They can be used to favor the di-agnosis of IMT of the lung,but the correct diagnosis depends on pathology and immunohistochemistry.
