Abstrakt: A 6-year-old boy with an unusually agressive pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor is presented. The tumor invaded the mediastinum and resulted in an esophageal obstruction, initially necessitating a pneumonectomy, then radiation therapy, and eventually colonic substitution of the esophagus. The previously reported 8 cases of pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumors with involvement of the mediastinum are reviewed.
