Presentamos nuestra experiencia sobre el pseudotumor inflamatorio pulmonar aportando seis casos con correlación clinicopatológica. Cinco de ellos son varones y una mujer, con edades comprendidas entre los 8 y 65 años (edad media de 36). Cuatro se acompañan de síntomas: tos en dos casos, hemoptisis y dolor torácico también en dos casos respectivamente, un caso se asocia a infecciones respiratorias de repetición. Cinco se localizan a nivel intraparenquimatoso y uno es a nivel intrabronquial. Predomina la afectación del pulmón derecho (cuatro casos). En dos afecta a lóbulos inferiores y en tres a lóbulos superiores. Uno se manifiesta de forma múltiple en el mismo lóbulo.

El diagnóstico se realiza por biopsia excisional, lobectomía o biopsia trasntorácica, siendo los diagnósticos histológicos: granuloma de células plasmáticas (4), pseudotumor tipo fibrohistiocitario (1) y tipo neumonía organizativa (1). La evolución de todos los pacientes es buena hasta la actualidad con un seguimiento entre uno y nueve años.

We present our experience in lung inflammatory pseudotumor through the report of six cases clinicopathologically correlated. There are five males and one female, whose ages range from 8 to 25 years (average 36). Four have symptoms: cough in two cases, hemoptysis and thoracic pain also in two cases, respectively, one case is associated to repeated respiratory infections. Five are localized intraparenchymally and one is intrabronchial. The affectation ot the right lung predominates (four cases). In two cases the lower lobes are affected and in three cases the upper lobes. One shows a multiple affectation of the same lobe.

Diagnosis is carried out with an excisional biopsy, lobectomy or transthoracic biopsy: the histologic diagnoses include: plasma cell granuloma (4), fibrohistiocytary pseudotumor (1), and organizing pneumonia (1). The evolution of all the patients is favorable up to date, with a follow-up ranging from one to nine years.
