Clin Nucl Med. 2017 Sep;42(9):e407-e408. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000001737.

Abstract

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) can be seen in all age groups, although it is more common in children and adolescents. We report the FDG PET/CT findings in an 8-year-old boy with endobronchial IMT. Endobronchial IMT is more commonly seen in young adults.
