Corticodependent and recurrent inflammatory pseudotumor. Analysis of cases in our province and review

We present a case of an inflammatory pseudotumor with special corticodependence that began as a long-term periodic fever and splenic focal lesion that required splenectomy for its diagnosis and that, after decreasing the corticosteroid regimen, presented recurrences at the cerebellar and systemic level requiring the association of various immunosuppressants and rituximab to achieve remission. As a result of this case, we have performed an analysis of all the pseudotumors diagnosed in adults in the hospitals of the province of Malaga, and it has been compared with that described in the bibliography.PMID:37980969 | DOI:10.1016/j.amjms.2023.11.010
