The inflammatory pseudotumour is a bona fide tumour in the sense of a mass lesion, which is known to present in virtually every anatomic region and organ from the central nervous system to the gastrointestinal tract. A fundamental question about pathogenesis is whether the inflammatory pseudotumour is a pseudo-or true neoplasm. There is evidence to support the argument that some of these fibroinflammatory masses are infection-associated and are often characterized by a proliferation of spindled histiocytes and/or dendritic cells, in contrast to a myofibroblastic proliferation in the other inflammatory pseudotumour, also known as the inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour.
炎性假瘤是一种真正意义上的肿瘤，表现为肿块性病变，已知几乎可出现在从中枢神经系统到胃肠道的每个解剖区域和器官。关于其发病机制的一个基本问题是炎性假瘤是假性肿瘤还是真性肿瘤。有证据支持这样的观点，即其中一些纤维炎性肿块与感染相关，通常以梭形组织细胞和/或树突状细胞增殖为特征，这与其他炎性假瘤（也称为炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤）中的肌纤维母细胞增殖形成对比。
