Inflammatory Pseudotumor

An inflammatory pseudotumor is a lesion that causes an inflammatory reaction. Although benign, the pseudotumor mimics a malignant tumor, so a proper diagnosis is key to effective treatment. The pseudotumor does not spread to other tissues, but the inflammation can put pressure on adjacent parts of the body. Inflammatory pseudotumors are usually found in the lungs or eyes. The condition may resolve on its own, but if not, our experienced teams within the AdventHealth Neuroscience Institute network can use minimally invasive procedures to remove the lesion(s).

Our experts are well-versed in treatments for adults and children who are diagnosed with inflammatory pseudotumors. We specialize in minimally invasive treatments that remove the lesions and alleviate the symptoms they cause. These advanced techniques keep the surrounding tissue safe, involve less pain and scarring and often mean a faster recovery, too. We'll be with you every step of the way, ensuring you're comfortable and confident throughout your treatment.
