Abstract:
Inflammatory pseudotumors are rare entities which occasionally affect the pulmonary parenchyma. Their clinical diagnosis arises in a variety of ways and half the time they are detected by chance. Deciding on a therapeutic approach is difficult because a firm diagnosis is established only after studying the excised tissue. We describe our experience with the diagnosis, surgical treatment, and follow up of 4 cases of inflammatory pseudotumor located in the pulmonary parenchyma and treated by surgical resection (by thoracotomy or video assisted thoracoscopic surgery) with good outcomes following complete resection.
