Discussion

Retrospective analysis shows no recurrence or metastasis after complete resection in adults, implying effective treatment strategies.

Complete (R0) resection of pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor resulted in no recurrence after 53 months.
Patients presented with cough (35.7%) and chest tightness (28.6%), with a mean tumor diameter of 3.1 cm.
