[Inflammatory pseudotumor: a rare cause of proximal bronchial obstruction].
Inflammatory pseudotumor of the lung is a rare disease with usual benign course. Relapse after incomplete resection and aggressive forms have already been described. We report the case of a 67-year-old woman with atelectasis of the left lung related to an endobronchial inflammatory pseudotumor. After laser resection, relapse occurred 3 months later, requiring surgical treatment.
