      <Abstract>A 37 year old health care worker presented with haemoptysis, night sweats and cough. Computed tomography (CT) scan of her thorax showed a right upper lobe cavitating lesion. She was treated for tuberculosis despite negative sputum cultures for Acid Fast Bacilli as the history and radiological findings appear classical for tuberculosis. She continued having persistent haemoptysis despite being on treatment and was referred to a thoracic surgeon for a surgical opinion. She underwent right video assisted thoracoscopic right upper lobe wedge resection and histological assessment of the tissue showed inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the lung.</Abstract>
