Abstract


Mesenchymal tumors comprise a rare
group of pulmonary tumors, constituting
less than 5 percent of lung tumors. It includes
various benign, malignant and
hamartomatous lesions. A retrospective
study was conducted in our department
and all the pulmonary tumors on records
were analyzed for a period of 6 years from
January 2007 to December 2012. The
various details analyzed were the presenting
complaints, age, sex, radiological findings,
gross morphology and microscopic
findings. A total of nine cases belonged to
this category and they included inflammatory
myofibroblastic tumor, leiomyosarcoma,
malignant peripheral nerve sheath
