Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is a rare lesion of unclear etiology reported in various organs. Although mostly benign, these tumors may pose a therapeutic challenge in cases of recurrence. We report the case of a young male who presented with a clinical and radiological picture suggestive of a malignancy in the thorax and upon evaluation was noted to have IPT of the lung. Complete surgical resection was done with no evidence of tumor recurrence. We review the literature and discern the epidemiological, clinical, pathophysiological and management aspects of IPTs.
炎性假瘤（IPT）是一种病因不明的罕见病变，可见于多种器官。尽管这些肿瘤大多为良性，但在复发情况下可能带来治疗挑战。我们报告一例年轻男性病例，其临床和影像学表现提示胸部存在恶性肿瘤，经评估发现为肺部炎性假瘤。该患者接受了完整的手术切除，术后无肿瘤复发迹象。我们回顾了相关文献，并分析了炎性假瘤的流行病学、临床、病理生理学及治疗方面的情况。
