Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 47
Abstract
[b]INTRODUCTION[/b]: Inflammatory Pseudotumour (IPT) is a benign proliferation of tissue but has a destructive potential of the affected area. It is also called Inflammatory Myofibroblastic tumour (IMT). Initially the tumour was reported in the lung but later on reported in other areas like abdomen, orbit etc. IPT of the larynx is a rare involvement. Pathogenesis of inflammatory Pseudotumour remains controversial and treatment is under standardised. Pseudotumours of Larynx are reported more common in boys around the age of 10 yrs. We report a case of IPT in a 11 yrs. old girl, who underwent surgery, with 1yr follow up.
