Inflammatory pseudotumors of the lung are uncommon in the thoracic surgical literature.
These masses resemble carcinoma of the lung radiographically and are discovered only
at time the of histologic review of the resected specimen. We report a case of inflammatory
pseudotumor that was excised without pulmonary resection, although it completely filled
the right hemithorax. We think it was the greatest inflammatory pseudotumor in the
English literature.
