An 8-year-old boy had a right pneumonectomy performed for a large inflammatory pseudotumor. Over the subsequent 8 years he developed multiple similar lesions in the meninges and bilateral cerebral hemispheres as well as new growths within the ipsilateral pleural cavity and contralateral lung. Metachronous pulmonary and intracranial inflammatory pseudotumor has been reported only once. These lesions probably represent a multifocal, exaggerated inflammatory response to some as yet unidentified stimuli.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
