ocular involvement is seen in approximately 25% of patients with sarcoidosis. uveitis is the most common ocular manifestation, but sarcoidosis may involve any part of the eye. orbital manifestations of sarcoidosis are uncommon with few series in the literature. a 65-year-old woman presented with redness of the right eye and painless, unilateral eyelid swelling. orbital scanning revealed mass in...

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...

We present a case of fibrous pseudotumor of the epididymis and tunica vaginalis which is one of the rarest paratesticular tumors. Fibrous pseudotumor presents as a solid scrotal mass with normal serum markers. Pathological examination is the only reliable way to make the diagnosis with these tumors exhibiting characteristic macroscopic and microscopic features. It is important to recognize this...

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, ...

We report a case of inflammatory pseudotumor of the ureter. An 81-year-old man who had an operation of pelvic exenteration with ileal conduit presented with right flank pain. Computed tomography revealed a 16 mm mass of the right ureter with right hydronephrosis and renal atrophy. The mass increased in size during follow up. Right nephroureterectomy was performed with suspicion of ureteral canc...

Inflammatory pseudotumor of the lung is a benign tumor which is rarely seen. A mass in the left lung was observed in the chest roentgenogram of an 8 year-old boy while investigating for anemia. Preoperative investigations could not render the exact diagnosis. Pneumonectomy was required in exploratris thoracotomy. Histopathologic diagnosis was fibrohistiocytic type of inflammatory pseudotumor. F...

In a patient with features indicating the presence of pseudotumor cerebri, a negative cranial CT-scan is not adequate to rule out less benign pathology and an MRI of brain should be performed. In this study, a 10-year old boy with daily headaches for one month and diplopia for one week was found to have a partial abducens palsy and bilateral papilledema; otherwise, his examination was normal. A...
