Pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor typically presents as a solitary, peripheral mass, often in the lower lobes. Unusual cases may show local invasion or mediastinal involvement.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare benign lung lesion.
  • Accurate radiologic characterization is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define the characteristic radiologic features of pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor.
  • To differentiate pseudotumor from malignant lung neoplasms.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 61 cases of pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor diagnosed between 1966 and 1994.
  • Analysis of clinical presentation, pathological findings, and radiologic imaging (radiography, CT, MRI).

Main Results:

  • Solitary peripheral nodules or masses were observed in 52 patients.

  • Hilar, mediastinal, and airway invasion occurred in 11 patients.
  • CT revealed heterogeneous (12 lesions) and homogeneous (5 lesions) attenuation; MRI showed intermediate to high signal intensity and diffuse enhancement.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor typically appears as a solitary, peripheral, sharply circumscribed mass, favoring lower lobes.
    • Local invasion and mediastinal/hilar involvement are uncommon presentations.
    • Radiologic features, combined with clinical and pathological data, aid in diagnosis.
