Özet
Inflammatory pseudo-tumour (IPT), also known as inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour or plasma cell granuloma, is a benign inflammatory solid tumour that may mimic malignancy. The etiology is obscure. Lung, spleen and mesentery are common sites of involvement. Colonic occurence is rare. Herein we report a case of IPT arising from the hepatic flexura with regard to its radiological, operative and histologic findings, that lead to colonic obstruction.
