Three girls, aged 2, 7, and 8 years respectively, developed a 1- to 3-month fever until an abdominal mass was found. Laboratory investigations revealed moderately elevated leucocyte counts, varying degrees of anemia, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rates, and mild eosinophilia. Ultrasonography and CT scans confirmed the clinical finding of an abdominal mass without further delineation of the nature of the lesion. The preoperative diagnosis was non-Hodgkin lymphoma in two cases and enteric cyst or inflammatory tumor in the third. Laparotomy revealed a fist-sized tumor arising from stomach, omentum, and peritoneum respectively. Resection of the tumor and surrounding normal tissue was performed. The microscopic findings were strikingly similar, with the tumors predominantly showing proliferation of reactive fibroblasts mingled with various amounts of foamy histiocytes and plasma cells. Follow-up after 6 months to 3 years showed no evidence of tumor recurrence. One child was reported to have died of "nephrotic syndrome” however, no autopsy was obtained. Many features of inflammatory pseudotumor are not well understood. However, on review of the literature most authors agree on the benign nature of the lesion. Minimal resection of the tumor is the treatment of choice, and the prognosis is generally excellent.
