Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) of the heart is rare and of unknown etiology. We present a case of cardiac IPT caused by Listeria monocytogenes that evolved following gastroenteritis in a previously healthy child. L. monocytogenes, known to cause acute invasive infections, has not been reported previously as a cause of cardiac infection in children or of IPT. The literature concerning infectious IPT is reviewed.
心脏炎性假瘤（IPT）较为罕见，病因不明。我们报告一例由单核细胞增生李斯特菌引起的心脏IPT病例，该病例发生在一名既往健康的儿童胃肠炎之后。单核细胞增生李斯特菌已知可引起急性侵袭性感染，此前尚未报道其可作为儿童心脏感染或IPT的病因。本文对感染性IPT的相关文献进行了综述。
