متن کاملInflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of the Larynx: A Case Report
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMFTs) are rare neoplasms of unclear origin that are most commonly found in the lungs and the abdominopelvic region, with rare involvement of the larynx [1-3]. Some cases of IMFT have shown immunohistochemical expression of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) [3]. ALK positivity confers a higher likelihood of recurrence but a lower chance of metastasis and ther...
