Conclusion

Inflammatory pseudotumour is a rare spaceoccupying lesion of unknown etiology that can mimic malignancy on clinico-radiological and pathological examination. An accurate preoperative diagnosis is difficult7. The results of biopsy can be inconclusive and an associated malignancy can be missed. Complete resection remains the best treatment.

The present case demonstrates the importance of bearing the possibility of inflammatory pseudotumour in mind while evaluating lung masses in children.
