Abstract

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the lung is a benign, non-metastasizing tumor with the possibility of local infiltration, recurrence or persistent local growth.

Therefore, we present the case of a 14-year-old girl with lung IMT associated with secondary nephrotic syndrome (NS), which was cured after tumor removal.
