title: [Inflammatory pseudotumor of the lung: presentation of 2 cases, one of them endobronchial].
abstract: Inflammatory pseudotumor (IP) is a rare pathological entity. Although, the pulmonary affection is the most frequent, any other organ can be involved. Its etiopathology is unknown. The disease is considered as a reactive process constituted by chronic inflammatory elements and a benign behavior. The lack of a specific clinical setting and the low profitability of the bloodless techniques makes mandatory the thoracostomy for a definitive diagnosis. We report two cases of pulmonary IP. One of them with an endobronchial localization which is a infrequent variety, scantily reported in the medical literature. We discuss the clinical and etiopathologic aspects of this rare pathological entity.
