Inflammatory pseudotumours are very rare with hardly over hundred cases reported in literature. The disease is rare in children. The tumour is usually solitary, rarely multifocal. We report on two women old 48 and 49 years. One had a solitary tumour, and the other had four multifocal inflammatory pseudotumours which were surgically removed. Preoperatively both patients had pain, loss in weight, the one had attacks of low grade temperature and the other nausea and general malaise. One patient had leucocytosis. After surgery both patients stayed symptom free with normal laboratory and ultrasonographic findings 6 and 50 months respectively.
