Abstract
Inflammatory pseudotumours of the lung are usually unifocal lesions of unknown pathogenesis and benign prognosis. We report the observation of a 68-year-old patient, hospitalised for etiological evaluation of a retracted opaque haemithorax revealed by exertional dyspnoea and chest pain. A radioclinical presentation suggested the diagnosis of a malignant bronchopulmonary tumour, but was refuted immediately after examination.
