  Background and Objective: Inflammatory pseudotumor  is a lesion composed of proliferating spindle cells with mixed inflammatory infiltrates. Some authors have proposed the name inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor as a proper descriptive term rather than the vague inflammatory pseudotumor. The aim of this study was to verify the myofibroblastic origin of spindle cells in idiopathic orbital inf...

inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (imt) is an aggressive benign mass that may arise from various tissues and organs with a great variability of histological and clinical appearances. due to variable and nonspecific imaging findings, diagnosis of imt is not obtained before surgery. the aim of this paper is to present ct and mri findings during four-year follow-up of complete, spontaneous regres...

abstract inflammatory pseudotumour describes as a wide range of neoplastic and reactive lesions. one of the rare presentations of these tumors is found in the salpinx. this case report characterizes a thirty six year old woman with a history of left sided abdominal pain for a few months. further examinations revealed that she had a complex cyst in her left salpinx. the patient had normal levels...

Inflammatory pseudotumor is a solid fibro-inflammatory tumor that clinically mimics a neoplastic lesion. Inflammatory pseudotumor is usually found in the orbits and lungs, but rarely in the sinonasal area. Presence of pseudotumor in nasal cavity is even scarce and there are only a few reports to date. We present a case of pseudotumor involving the nasal tip area in an adult female mimicking as ...

344 Calcifying fibrous pseudotumor (CFP) is an unusual benign lesion of the soft tissue. CFP is regarded as related to inflammatory pseudotumor and it may sometimes represent a late stage of inflammatory pseudotumor, in that a CFP appears to be arising within an inflammatory pseudotumor. 1 This entity occurs predominantly in young adult patients and has a good prognosis. 2 CFPs are found mostly...

Inflammatory pseudotumor most commonly occurs in the orbit and produces orbital pseudotumor, but extension into brain parenchyma is uncommon. We report a case of inflammatory pseudotumor involving sphenoid sinus, cavernous sinus, superior orbital fissure, orbital muscle, and intracranial extension into left temporal lobe producing right hemiparesis and wernicke's aphasia. The patient improved c...

Reported here is the case of a 55-year-old man who had tarry stools for 3 days before he was seen at this Department. The man had weight loss and an intermittent fever for 3 months prior. Histopathology revealed an inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver. This case is reported here along with a review of the literature. Nine days after surgery, the patient passed bright red blood (150 mL) in the ...

Inflammatory pseudotumor, also known as inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor and plasma cell granuloma, is an uncommon low-grade lesion composed of spindle cells admixed with mature plasma cells and other inflammatory cells, such as histiocytes, lymphocytes, and eosinophils. Here, we describe the mammographic and ultrasonographic findings of a case of an inflammatory pseudotumor of the breast in ...
