摘要
splenic inflammatory pseudotumour has been defined as a benign tumour reactive lesion with unspecified reparative or inflammatory alterations. it is a mimicking tumour often confused with other pathologies, primarily, lymphoproliferative disorders. though its aetiology remains unknown, these tumours are often associated to infectious agents such as the epstein-barr virus. we describe a case of a 29 year-old patient with a history of infectious mononucleosis, followed by fever, weight loss, and splenomegaly. splenectomy detected a homogeneous, whitish 2 cm node diagnosed as splenic inflammatory pseudotumour. the clinical features and diagnosis of this disorder are discussed in relation to the histopathological findings.
