May support avoiding extensive resection for suspected pediatric lung pseudotumors; leaves open prospective validation of radiographic criteria.
Marilyn Pearl (1972) conducted a case report in Postinflammatory Pseudotumor of the Lung (n=3). Postinflammatory pseudotumor of the lung was evaluated on Clinical presentation and gross anatomy/histology. Postinflammatory pseudotumors of the lung in children may radiographically mimic true tumors, but recognizing their benign characteristics can help avoid extensive resection.
