Inflammatory pseudotumors are rare and most commonly described in the lungs but these are reported in almost all the organs in the body. Mediastinal involvement is rare and difficult to diagnose. Clinical manifestations and laboratory investigations and radiology are non-specific. Histomorphology and Immunohistochemistry provide a valuable aid.
