Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the trachea is rare tumor mostly found in children and young adults. CASE REPORT: We report a case of a 28 year-old woman who presented chronic isolated coughing. Chest CT scan showed a tracheal tumor. Rigid bronchoscopy allowed the complete removal of the tumor, and histology confirmed the diagnosis of IMT. 12 months follow-up found no recurrence. DISCUSSION: IMT is a rare tumor exhibiting both benign and aggressive behaviour. The endoscopic approach of tracheal should be considered when there is a minimal tracheal wall invasion. CONCLUSION: Through this case, we want to emphasise the role of rigid bronchoscopy in the complete removal of endotracheal IMT.
