ABSTRACT
Inflammatory pseudotumor is an unusual quasineoplastic lesion, of uncertain natural history and etiopathogenesis, which consists of inflammatory cells and myofibroblastic spindle cells; and is usually found in children and young adults. Clinical manifestations and radiological feature of this rare entity, can be indistinguishable from a malignant sarcomatous or lymphoproliferative disorders. Here, a case of surgically proven inflammatory pseudotumor of the omentum in a child and its review of literature is presented. Conservative surgery is curative in most cases of inflammatory pseudotumors. Awareness of this lesion is essential for clinicians, radiologists and pathologists, as pre-operative recognition may spare the child from unnecessary radical surgery or harmful chemoradiotherapy.
