[Endobronchial inflammatory pseudotumor. A case report and review of the literature]
Abstract
The endobronchial inflammatory pseudotumor is a little described variant of inflammatory lung pseudotumor, the growth of which is directed towards bronchial lumen. A case is presented and seventeen other well documented cases from the medical literature are reviewed. This variant has been frequently observed with clinical manifestations of obstructive respiration and atelectasis as a radiologic pattern allowing detection at an early age. Endoscopy does not usually confirm diagnosis; surgery and study of the specimen removed is therefore necessary.
