[Inflammatory pseudotumor of the ileus: clinical contribution].
Inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare benign lesion; the lung and conducting airways can be the seat where is often localized. The ileal localization, reported at present, can be defined unique. In our case was very difficult to perform a right diagnosis cause the absence of pathognomonic symptoms. Surgical procedure too was not able to resolve the diagnostic problem: in fact macroscopically the lesion seemed an ileal carcinoma or Crohn's disease. Only the microscopical examination with the individuation of Russell's bodies, macrophages and other inflammatory cells can perform the right diagnosis.
