Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare tumor composed of mesenchymal myofibroblastic spindle cells enveloped by an inflammatory infiltrate. Historically, this tumor sparked debate regarding whether it was a true malignancy with metastatic potential or merely a locally destructive physiologic inflammatory response. Few reports of IMT exist in the recent literature, with the majority of cases occurring in the pediatric population and favoring the lungs. Here we present an exceedingly rare case of IMT involving the larynx of a 22-year-old female.
