Abstract

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are a rare subset of lung lesions in the adult age group. They pose a diagnostic challenge as they present with non-specific findings. We report a 27-year-old female with an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor on a background of hereditary spherocytosis.
