Abstract
Background
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor rarely occurs in the carotid artery, whereas syncope is infrequently associated with neck mass.
Methods and Results
We reby present a case in which a 56-year-old man with inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor at the left carotid bifurcation and is accompanied by recurrent syncope and falls. He underwent surgery, after which corticosteroids and antibiotics were administered for a short term. No recurrence was observed during the 2-year follow-up.
Conclusion
To our knowledge, this is the first case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in which recurrent syncope is the only clinical manifestation. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2016
