Cytological characteristics are reported in the case of a 20-years-old male with pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor (PIP) diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and later confirmed histologically. The patient presented a large tumor on the lower lobe of the right lung with hemoptysis, hemothorax and secondary acute anemia. The clinical-pathological profile of PIP are reviewed, along with diagnostic problems arising from the morpho-structural characteristics of the disease.
