Inflammatory pseudotumors are benign tumor lesions of an unknown etiology that can appear almost at any organ, sometimes along with infectious agens, like Epstein-Barr virus. They are extremely rare in the spleen, with less than 80 cases described in the world literature. It is a single, very rarely multinodal lesion. Middle aged patients are mostly affected. Symptoms are either absent or uncharacteristic, so that the tumors are discovered by chance or during investigations of other diseases.
