Inflammatory pseudotumors, rare in children, mimic cancer but are benign growths. Early surgical removal is key for diagnosis and treatment, preventing misdiagnosis and ensuring recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Inflammatory pseudotumors (IPTs) are benign lesions that can mimic malignant tumors clinically and radiologically.
  • While typically found in the lungs of young adults, IPTs are rarely reported in children.
  • These lesions are characterized by localized proliferations of mononuclear inflammatory cells and myofibroblasts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report five pediatric cases of inflammatory pseudotumors.
  • To highlight the importance of differentiating IPTs from malignancy in children.
  • To emphasize the role of early surgical intervention for these rare lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Case series presentation of five pediatric patients with IPTs.
  • Review of clinical, radiological, and pathological findings.

  • Literature review on pediatric inflammatory pseudotumors.

    • Main Results:

    • Four intra-abdominal and one pulmonary IPT were identified in previously healthy children.
    • One case involved a urinary bladder tumor initially misdiagnosed as sarcoma, leading to extensive treatment.
    • Local recurrence was noted in one patient; complete excision was successful in others.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric inflammatory pseudotumors, though rare, require careful differentiation from malignant neoplasms.
    • Prompt surgical excision is the recommended treatment for confirmed IPTs.
    • Accurate pathological diagnosis is crucial to avoid aggressive, unnecessary treatments for benign lesions.
