Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is a rare disease that usually occurs in the lung. Patients with IPT are usually asymptomatic, with a solitary pulmonary nodule or mass detected on routine chest roentgenogram. IPT can behave as a malignant tumor both clinically and radiologically. Cough, fever, dyspnea, and hemoptysis are the usual presenting symptoms. This report describes the case of a 37-year-old man with a 4-month course of dysphagia secondary to lower esophageal invasion by the posterior mediastinal extension of a lung IPT.
炎性假瘤（IPT）是一种罕见疾病，通常发生于肺部。IPT患者通常无症状，常在常规胸部X线检查时发现孤立性肺结节或肿块。IPT在临床和影像学上均可表现为恶性肿瘤。咳嗽、发热、呼吸困难和咯血是常见的首发症状。本报告描述了一名37岁男性病例，其因肺IPT后纵隔延伸侵犯食管下段导致吞咽困难，病程4个月。
