摘要
Inflammatory pseudotumour (IPT), also known as inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour, is a rare cause of benign cervical lymphadenopathy. In its acute clinical presentation it mimics malignant and infective causes of cervical lymphadenopathy. The combined clinical history, histopathological findings, and imaging features of an infiltrating soft-tissue mass should lead to the possibility of IPT. Radical surgery should be avoided before there is histological proof of a malignant tumor. © 2006 Association of Otolaryngologists of India.
