PURPOSE To report an unusual case of spontaneous late leakage of filtering bleb in a patient with orbital pseudotumor. METHODS Single case report. RESULTS A 53-year-old woman developed spontaneous leakage of bleb in her right eye 23 years after trabeculectomy with application of mitomycin-C (MMC). Two weeks later, her symptoms were blurring of vision, increasing redness, and dull ocular pai...

Inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare non-neoplastic mass that may clinically and radiologically mimic a spectrum of benign and malignant neoplasms. It is uncommon in the head and neck and particularly rare at the skull base. We present a case of pseudotumor originating from the trigeminal nerve in a patient who presented with headache and facial numbness. A high index of suspicion is necessary to...

Intrascrotal benign fibrous proliferations are uncommon and mostly arise from paratesticular region falling into the category of fibrous pseudotumor which is characterized by nodular growth composed of probably reactive proliferation of fibroblasts and inflammatory cells. Although benign, this often clinically mimics intrascrotal malignancy and usually remains undiagnosed preoperatively. Here, ...

Isolated splenic inflammatory pseudotumors (IPT) are extremely rare, typically benign, inflammatory lesions with varied clinical presentations that pose a diagnostic challenge to clinicians due to their similarity in appearance to neoplasms. We present the case of a young woman diagnosed with a splenic IPT following investigation for persistent anemia, raised inflammatory markers, and polyclona...

BACKGROUND Inflammatory pseudotumor of the kidney or inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is composed of spindle cells admixed with variable amount of proliferating myofibroblasts, fibroblasts, extracellular collagen, lymphocytes and plasma cells. This mainly affects the urinary bladder or prostate. Renal involvement is rare. CASE PRESENTATION A 56 year-old man was diagnosed with asymptom...

We report a case of a splenic inflammatory pseudotumor (myofibroblastic tumor) in a 43-year-old man with a 5-year history of chronic bronchitis and sleep apnea syndrome. The patient was hospitalized because of a screen-detected splenic mass lesion. His sputum cultures revealed Mycobacterium avium complexes on only one occasion. Imaging studies revealed a 7 cm solitary tumorous lesion, and diffe...

Inflammatory pseudotumor of the spleen is a very rare benign lesion of unknown etiology. Splenectomy is recommended to obtain histological diagnosis and to eliminate a malignant tumor.

We present serial cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in a case of cardiac pseudotumor (inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor). The diagnosis proved difficult and was helped by myocardial tissue characterization using CMR. Intrinsic contrast and extrinsic contrast (using gadolinium-DTPA perfusion, early and late imaging) differentiated between normal and pathological tissues and demonstrated t...

Demyelinating pseudotumor is a rare inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that has a similar clinical presentation and computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging findings as brain tumors or abscesses. Unlike brain tumors, demyelinating pseudotumors respond well to steroid hormones. There are only a few reported cases of intracranial de...
