Inflammatory Pseudotumor of the Inguinal Lymph Node: A Case Report

has been described in both genders of all ages, and in almost any location (1, 2). It is characterized histologically by the presence of acute and chronic inflammatory cells with a variable fibrous response (2). Its pathogenesis is uncertain, but the lesion is generally regarded as reactive or postinfectious, and it originates from an inflammatory process (2). It has been reported to occur in many organs, including the lung and orbit, though its occurrence in the lymph node is rare. To the best of our knowledge, only a few cases of inflammatory pseudotumor of the lymph node have been described in the literature (3-6). Two of these reports included the radiologic findings of inflammatory pseudotumor affecting the lymph nodes (4, 6). We describe the CT findings of inflammatory pseudotumor of the inguinal lymph node.
