Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor (IMT) is a benign tumor that is extremely rare. We present a 54-year-old man who has received 23 years of conservative treatment for IMT, respiratory infections, aspergillosis, and hemoptysis. A left intrapericardial pneumonectomy was performed with efficacy. The left atrial auricle lesion created a massive hemorrhage during chest closure due to contact with the staplers of the left pulmonary artery stapler line. The hemorrhaging was stopped immediately. The patient has entirely recovered one year after surgery, and no adverse events or relapses have occurred.
