Here we present a case of pseudotumor following total hip arthroplasty (THA) that resulted in a circulatory disturbance caused by compression of the femoral vasculature. A 63-year-old man presented with pain, swelling, and redness of the left leg 5 years after primary metal-on-metal THA using the AML-Plus stem, Pinnacle® acetabular cup, and 36 mm diameter Ultamet™ metal head system (DePuy Ortho...

INTRODUCTION Neoplastic disease in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a rare condition and is difficult to differentiate from temporomandibular disorders (TMD) based on symptoms and simple X-ray examinations. Potential differential diagnoses include synovial chondromatosis and pseudotumor, both of which are also relatively rare in the TMJ. PRESENTATION OF CASE We report a case of pseudotumo...

Inflammatory pseudotumors are rare benign tumors consisting of cellular and stromal elements of a localized reactive process. While inflammatory pseudotumors are commonly detected in the lung and occasionally in other organs, only one case of inflammatory pseudotumor of the thymus has been reported in the literature to date. This report presents a 54-year-old male patient with inflammatory pseu...

BACKGROUND We report a case of a young girl who developed pseudotumor cerebri while taking minocycline for acne vulgaris. CASE A 16-year-old girl without a history of menstrual irregularity, weighing 60 kg (body mass index: 26.0%) presented with a history of 1 week of headache and sudden onset of a horizontal diplopia. OBSERVATION Examination revealed bilateral papilledema and an abduction ...

Epulis fissuratum is a mucosal hyperplasia that result from chronic irritation induced by poorly fitting prosthesis. It pseudotumor sitting in the vestibule of jaw; and composed several layers. This lesion impinges on prosthetic balance requiring pre-prosthetic surgical time. The extent this case makes it impossible to take an accurate impression for performing cicatrisation guiding Total excis...

INTRODUCTION Many papers have been published recently on the subject of pseudotumors surrounding metal-on-metal hip resurfacing and replacement prostheses. These pseudotumors are sterile, inflammatory lesions within the periprosthetic tissues and have been variously termed masses, cysts, bursae, collections, or aseptic lymphocyte-dominated vasculitis-associated lesions (ALVAL). The prevalence o...

Introduction: A haemophilic pseudotumor is an encapsulated, chronic, slowly expanding hematoma, usually involving the musculoskeletal system. Pseudotumors cause pressure erosion of adjacent bone and other pressure effects. We present a case report of neglected pseudotumors and everything that can go wrong, complicating management so much that we were left with amputation as the only option. We ...

A case of inflammatory pseudotumor of the lung occurring in a six-year-old boy is reported with clinicopathologic findings, including its ultrastructure. The patient had had frequent upper respiratory tract infections, and one and half year before the discovery of the lung mass, he suffered from pneumonia of the right lung, which was serologically proven to be a mycoplasma pneumoniae infection....

Inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver secondary to a migrated fishbone is very rare. A 51-year-old man presented to our hospital with a 3-year history of vague epigastric pain, anorexia, and weight loss. Conventional abdominal ultrasound showed a hypoechoic mass in the left lobe of the liver, and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography indicated the typical enhanced pattern of fast-in-fast-washout. B...

Inflammatory pseudotumor of the spleen with expression of follicular dendritic cell markers is an extremely rare lesion with only a few cases reported previously. The present study reports on an inflammatory pseudotumor of the spleen 10 × 8 × 7 cm in size that was incidentally found in a 61-year-old man and increased gradually in size during a period of 3 months. Abdominal ultrasonography revea...
