PATIENT: Female, 60 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Inflammatory pseudotumor of the lung
Symptoms: Cough dry ? fever MEDICATION: - Clinical Procedure: - Specialty: -
OBJECTIVE: Rare disease. BACKGROUND: Inflammatory pseudotumor of the lung
involves a benign, non-neoplastic lung lesion of unknown etiology. CASE REPORT:
We present a case of a 60-year-old female smoker who had been under intermittent
immunosuppressive medication for discoid lupus, who was admitted to hospital with
fever of 39.5°C of 10-day duration, not responding to an oral cephalosporin.
Chest CT examination showed a cavitating opacity in the upper zone of the left
lung. It was not feasible to establish a diagnosis based on clinical and
laboratory testing nor based on CT scanning and bronchoscopy. Thus, the patient
underwent left thoracotomy and sphenoid resection of the lesion, which was sent
for biopsy. The histopathologic features aided by immunohistochemical staining
proved the lesion to be an inflammatory pseudotumor of the lung. CONCLUSIONS: The
case is reported because of the extremely rare radiologic presentation of the
development of a lung pseudotumor emerging as a cavitated lesion, which relapsed
during the follow-up period while the patient was still under immunosuppressive
medication.
