We describe an unusual presentation of a suspected pediatric foreign body (FB) aspiration which was found to be an occlusive inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the distal trachea. These are rarely reported entities, with the potential for significant airway bleeds. Multidisciplinary discussion and involvement allowed for a safe patient outcome.
