AbstractInflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) in the head and neck region are common, but those with sympathetic trunk involvement are extremely rare. Here we present a case of cervical sympathetic trunk-centered IMT which is also accompanied by ipsilateral carotid artery, internal jugular vein, and vagus nerve involvement. The patient initially complained of an episodic painful swelling on the right side of the neck and underwent surgery. Preoperative and postoperative serum IgG4 level during 3-year follow-up time is within normal limits. Immunohistochemical study of the tumor has also revealed negativity to IgG4. Postoperative first bite syndrome (FBS) was observed. Surgery seems to be first-line therapy in the patient with IgG4-negative IMT.
