Pseudotumor fibroso calcificante é uma lesão rara histologicamente caracterizado por abundante tecido colagenizado com infiltrado linfoplasmocitário focal e calcificações psamomáticas distróficas. São mais frequentes em crianças jovens adultos. Se caracterizam como lesões clinicamente benignas que podem se formar sobre ampla distribuição anatômica, inclusive no subcutâneo tecidos moles profundo...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT), also called "inflammatory pseudotumor", is a rare benign tumor composed of spindle cells with a variable infiltrate of inflammatory cells and fibrous tissue. There have been many reported cases of IMT in every organ system; however, IMT in the mediastinum is rare. We report a rare, proven case of spontaneous regression of IMT in the right cardiophrenic ...

Inflammatory pseudotumors (IPTs) are rare benign tumor-like lesions in the epididymis. They result from myofibrohistiocytic proliferation of the parenchymal organs of the body, such as the lungs and genitourinary system. A 48-year-old male patient presented with a palpable left scrotal mass and developed painless swelling within two months. Scrotal ultrasound revealed a 3 cm solid mass and sper...

Inflammatory pseudotumor is a nonmalignant lesion that mimics malignant lesions and has been reported to occur at various sites throughout the body. Though it has been reported as a reaction to infection, the true etiology of the lesion is unknown. In this report, we present the case of a patient with a liver lesion of unknown origin. Through a series of imaging studies, we were able to observe...

A 29-year-old woman with a 4-year history of multifocal fibrosclerosis showed unique neurologic complications. Episcleritis, orbital pseudotumor, and eosinophilic phlegmon preceded intracranial inflammatory pachymeningitis. The pachymeningitis was associated with disturbance of the visual field, incomplete Gerstmann's syndrome, and pseudotumor cerebri. T2-weighted magnetic resonance images reve...

An autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) patient with metachronous and multiple extrapancreatic lesions is reported. Initial symptoms were proptosis, oculomotor deficits, and a visual field deficit of the left eye, and swelling of bilateral lacrimal glands. Swelling of the right salivary gland and elevated serum levels of hepatobiliary enzymes were detected. AIP associated with IgG4-related orbital pse...

This report presents a case of calcifying fibrous pseudotumor arising in the posterior mediastinum of a 54-year-old woman. The histopathologic features of this case were identical to that of calcifying fibrous pseudotumor first designated in 1993. It is a distinctive benign fibrous lesion characterized by the presence of characteristics psammomatous or dystrophic calcification, abundant hyalini...

although the majority of mesenchymal lesions of the gastrointestinal tract are neoplastic in nature, but nonneoplastic reactive processes may also involve the gastrointestinal tract and mesentery. some more aggressive neoplasms located in same area, such as fibromatosis or gastrointestinal stromal  tumors  may  be  cause  of  diagnostic  confusion.  reactive  nodular  fibrous  pseudo  tumor (rn...

Pseudotumor cerebri is idiopathic intracranial hypertension. The etiology of this syndrome has not been fully clarified. Excess cerebrospinal fluid production, scarcity of cerebrospinal fluid absorption, intracranial venous pressure elevation, increased intracranial blood volume are all thought to be responsible. The symptoms of the disease may be ordered according to prevalence as follows: hea...

CONTEXT Inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare benign lesion that can occur at a wide variety of primary sites. It is usually worrisome for the patient and the medical staff, since it cannot be clinically or radiologically distinguished from malignant entities. CASE REPORT We report on a case of splenic inflammatory pseudotumor presenting with concomitant renal cell carcinoma. Despite the alarmin...
