title: [Inflammatory pseudotumor of the spleen and radiopathologic correlation].
abstract: Inflammatory pseudotumors of the spleen (IPTS) are rare. We report a case of an IPTS in a 48-year-old woman who was admitted for drug eruption. During her hospitalization, she complained of abdominal pain. Physical examination and laboratory investigations were unremarkable. The abdominal ultrasonography and hepatic MRI detected a heterogeneous mass in the spleen measuring approximately 5 cm in diameter. Partial splenectomy was performed. Histologically, the splenic mass was composed of an admixture of inflammatory cellular elements with hemorrhage and sclerosis, suggestive of an IPTS. The postoperative course was uneventful. The authors attempt to make a radiopathologic correlation of this rare tumor.
