Abstract
Inflammatory pseudotumors of the lung are uncommon in the thoracic surgical literature. These masses resemble carcinoma of the lung radiographically a nd are discovered only at time the of histologic review of the resected spe cimen. We report a case of inflammatory pseudotumor that was excised withou t pulmonary resection, although it completely filled the Fight hemithorax. We think it was the greatest inflammatory pseudotumor in the English litera ture.
