Abstract

  Inflammatory Pseudotumours (IPT) are mostly benign lesions, mimicking malignant lesions and affecting almost all organ systems and are characterised by fibrotic ground tissue and polyclonal mononuclear infiltrate on histopathology. It is a disease of unknown pathogenesis and the brain is a rare site of occurrence. Here we present one such case we operated recently in our department.

Keywords: Inflammatory Pseudotumour (IPT); Mixed Spindle Cell Pseudotumor; Plasma Cell Granuloma
