  • Published:
Pediatric Radiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

We describe four cases of inflammatory pseudotumor seen at our institution in the past 4 years. Four children were each found to have a large extraperitoneal mass on imaging studies, three of which were in the pelvis. Malignant sarcomatous tumors were suspected. Surgical biopsy of each mass, however, revealed inflammatory pseudotumor.
