Clinical management and long-term outcomes in pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor: a 12-Year experience with 14 surgically treated adult patients at a single center
PIMT is a rare tumor requiring pathological confirmation. Complete surgical resection (R0) via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is the preferred curative approach, demonstrating excellent long-term outcomes in this cohort with no recurrence or metastasis observed, but close surveillance is essential due to potential recurrence risk.
