Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) primarily affect children and young adults and usually occur in the mesentery, omentum, retroperitoneum, pelvis, and abdominal soft tissue. 1 IMT is histologically characterized by myofibroblastic and fibroblastic spindle cells accompanied by an inflammatory infiltrate containing plasma cells and lymphocytes. Approximately 50%–70% of IMTs exhibit clonal rearrangements of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene on chromosome 2p23. 1 Laryngeal IMTs are rare; approximately 47 cases of laryngeal IMTs have been described as of 2015, 2 with only five cases of ALK‐rearranged laryngeal IMTs. 2, 3 Local recurrence of laryngeal IMT due to incomplete resection has been observed3; however, metastasis has not been documented. We present here the clinicopathological, ultrastructural, and genetic features of a vocal cord IMT.
