ABSTRACT
IMTs belong to the group of soft tissue tumor and could occur at any anatomical site; however, the causes and growth feature remain unclear. This case report documents a 10-yr-old male suffering from slowly developing dyspnea on exertion and cough around seven months post-HCT. He was diagnosed with an endobronchial tumor based on imaging, and histology confirmed ALK-positive submucosal spindle-shaped cells with infiltrative cells, compatible with IMT. We should be aware that IMT is a potential complication of pediatric allogeneic HCT and can cause sudden airway obstruction.
