A case of inflammatory pseudotumor in a 22-Year-old man is described. Symptoms and signs showed high fever and prominent cervical lymphadenopathy; laboratory findings were consistent with an acute inflammatory process. Diagnosis was reached through a lymph node biopsy which allowed a definitive diagnosis and ruled out several mimicking pathological processes such as malignant lymphoma, infectious diseases and autoimmune disorders. Inflammatory pseudotumor should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with persistent fever and lymph node enlargement.
本文描述了一例22岁男性炎性假瘤病例。症状和体征表现为高热及明显的颈部淋巴结肿大；实验室检查结果与急性炎症过程相符。通过淋巴结活检得以确诊，排除了恶性淋巴瘤、传染病及自身免疫性疾病等几种类似的病理过程。对于持续发热和淋巴结肿大的患者，炎性假瘤应列入鉴别诊断范围。
