Inflammatory pseudotumor of the breast is a very rare cause of breast mass. To our knowledge, only a few cases have been described in the English literature. In this case, the lesion appeared on mammography as a round high‐density mass with ill‐defined margins and on sonography as an irregular mass of complex echogenicity with ill‐defined margins and an echogenic rim. The lesion was resected with no evidence of local recurrence after 3 years. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound 2010
