Inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare lesion that can appear anywhere in the body, often mimicking cancer. Understanding its presentation and imaging is key to avoiding misdiagnosis and unnecessary surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare quasineoplastic lesion.
  • It most commonly involves the lung and orbit but can occur systemically.
  • It mimics malignant tumors clinically and radiologically.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the pathogenesis, natural history, clinical presentation, imaging findings, and treatment of inflammatory pseudotumor.
  • To highlight the importance of radiologist familiarity with this entity.
  • To aid in avoiding unnecessary radical surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on inflammatory pseudotumor.
  • Discussion of clinical and radiological features.
  • Analysis of treatment options across various affected sites.

Main Results:

  • Inflammatory pseudotumor presents a diagnostic challenge due to its mimicry of malignancy.
  • Comprehensive understanding of its varied presentations is crucial.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis can prevent overtreatment.

Conclusions:

  • Familiarity with inflammatory pseudotumor is essential for radiologists.
  • Distinguishing it from malignant neoplasms can prevent unnecessary radical surgeries.
  • Appropriate management depends on accurate diagnosis and understanding of the lesion's behavior.
