The IPT is composed of a proliferation of spindle cells, small vessels and inflammatory cells without atypia and formed by high and poor cellular areas. This study reports a case of IPT. It was a 50-years-old man in whom the abdominal mass was an incidental finding during exploratory laparatomy. The mass was a lymphadenopathy measuring 12 x 10 x 5 cm in diameters. Histologic examination revealed IPT of the lymph nodes. The patient has remained asymptomatic for more than 10 months following surgery without any treatment. In conclusion, IPT of the lymph nodes is being recognized increasingly and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lymphadenopathies. Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) of the lymph nodes resembling the IPT of other organs was recently described as a possible cause of lymphadenopathy. Histologically, the process showed a proliferation of spindle cells associated with a mixture of polymorphic inflammatory cells and small blood vessels involving the connective tissue framework (hilum, trabecula, capsule) of the lymph node.

Carcino-embryonic antigen, ephithelial membrane antigen, S-100 protein, and somatostatin were found in the epithelial cells of most of the cystadenolymphomas. In normal parotid tissue, carcinoembryonic antigen, epithelial membrane antigen, Keratin, alpha 1-antitrypsin, alpha 1-antichymotrypsin, and S-100 protein were found in all three types of ductal cells, somatostatin only in intercalated and striated ductal cells, and lysozyme only in acinar and intercalated ductal cells.

The presence of lysozyme in the epithelial tumor cells and in the intercalated ductal cells of normal parotid tissue suggest that cystadenolymphomas may arise from the intercalated ducts.
