Se presentan dos casos de seudotumor inflamatorio de pulmón, también llamado fíbrohistiocitoma o xan-toma plasmático, operados recientemente. Aunque las características clínicas de ambos pacientes son diferentes y las imágenes radiológicas son también distintas, las piezas resecadas y su histología son muy similares. Se revisa la literatura en relación sobre todo con la patogenia tumoral o inflamatoria de la lesión. Se describe la metódica diagnóstica ante cualquier masa o nodulo pulmonar y se diseñan las indicaciones y la estrategia quirúrgicas más adecuadas.

We report two cases of inflammatory pseudotumour of the lung, also known as fibrohistocytoma or plasmatic xanthoma, that were recently resected in our center. Even though clinical features and radiological images were different in the two patients, both surgical samples and their histology proved to be very similar. A literature review focused mainly on the tumoral or inflammatory pathogenesis of this conditions is also provided. The diagnostic outline for the assessment of a pulmonary mass or node as well as the most adequate surgical indications and approaches are described.
