Inflammatory pseudotumor (IP) is a disorder that constitutes a differential diagnosis of a series of clinical conditions due to a large spectrum of manifestations in presentation since it can involve any organ of the human body. Its basic characteristic is the appearance of inflammatory masses whose symptoms depend on their location. We describe two cases of IP that clearly illustrate this diversity of presentation and we review the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for such a condition.
