| Core Tip |
Inflammatory pseudotumor is considered a diagnostic challenge, with no one-self explained pathophysiology. Over-reactive inflammatory response to various triggering agents or even an entity with malignant potentials represents the two-sided pendu-lum. Accurate pathological identification lies on adequate tissue acquisition, which often occurs during surgical resection; the preferred treatment approach. Even though both local recurrence and metastasis represent a poor prognosis, its indolent course is not a well-known property, which we do here highlight in our patient with a 10-year follow up, possessing a stable and indolent disease.
