“…Lobectomy should be performed if it is required for complete resection and if the patient's pulmonary reserve is adequate. Non-surgical treatment modalities including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and corticosteroids may have a place in the setting of incomplete surgical resection, multifocal disease, postoperative tumour recurrence, or contra-indications to lung resection [3, 4, 13, 16–20]. Although spontaneous regression may occur, local expansion may cause significant morbidity and occasional death.…”

We describe a patient with inflammatory pseudotumour of the lung. He was a young man who presented with haemotysis and the chest X-ray and computerized tomography were indicative of a nonbenign lesion in the right upper lobe. Excision biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic pseudotumour of the lung. This is a rare inflammatory nonneoplastic condition commonly affecting children and young adults.

“…Lobectomy should be performed if it is required for complete resection and if the patient's pulmonary reserve is adequate. Non-surgical treatment modalities including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and corticosteroids may have a place in the setting of incomplete surgical resection, multifocal disease, postoperative tumor recurrence, or contraindications to lung resection [ [16] , [17] , [18] ]. Corticosteroids are generally not useful in adults, although good results have been reported in children in cases of unresectable tumors or hilar and mediastinal invasion.…”

Inflammatory pseudotumours of the lungs have rarely been reported. These have been described as a benign entity of unknown origin and are often locally invasive requiring extensive pulmonary resection. Complete resection is the key to prevent recurrence and the prognosis is excellent following surgery. We describe a patient with inflammatory pseudotumour of the lung. He was a middle aged man who presented with haemotysis and the chest X-ray and computerized tomography were indicative of a nonbenign lesion in the right upper lobe. Excision biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic pseudotumour of the lung. This is a rare inflammatory nonneoplastic condition commonly affecting children and young adults.

“…Pulmonary IPT represents a distinct group of pathologies ranging from benign lesions as plasma cell granuloma to lesions with more malignant potentials as IMTs[ 9 ]. IPT of the lung is a rare entity, constituting around 0.7% of all lung tumors, and approximately 0.04% to 1.2% of all thoracotomies[ 10 ]. Most of IPT lesions occur in younger age groups, with no sex predilection[ 11 ].…”

“…Subsequently over-reactive inflammation results in proliferation and infiltration of inflammatory cells, including lymphocytes, plasma cells, and histiocytes. This could explain the persistent elevation in serum inflammatory biomarkers, as C-reactive protein and erythrocytes sedimentation rate[ 10 ].…”

“…IgG4 is the least abundant of all IgG subclasses, and accounts for less than 6% of the total IgG subclasses in the serum[ 19 ]. Serum IgG4 is elevated in certain pathological entities such as atopic dermatitis, pemphigus vulgaris, and sclerosing pancreatitis[ 10 ]. The IgG4-related IPT behaves differently than isolated IPT, as it responds greatly to steroids, precluding the need for surgical resection[ 8 ].…”

Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) has always been considered a diagnostic challenge. Its rarity and resemblance to other more common pathological entities imposes that neither clinical nor radiological characteristics can lead to a definitive diagnosis. The surgical excision of the lesion is the ultimate approach for accurate diagnosis and cure. Moreover the true nature of IPT, its origin as a neoplastic entity or an over-reactive inflammatory reaction to an unknown trigger, has been a long debated matter. Surgery remains the treatment of choice. IPT is mostly an indolent disease with minimal morbidity and mortality. Local invasion and metastasis predict a poor prognosis. We hereby present a unique case of pulmonary IPT that was surgically excised, but recurred contralaterally, shortly thereafter. Despite no medical or surgical treatment for ten years, the lesion has remained stable in size, with neither symptoms nor extra-pulmonary manifestations.
