A novel case of inflammatory pseudotumor of the spleen with concurrent invasive lepidic pulmonary adenocarcinoma: a case report

This report highlights the indication for surgical intervention in the management of splenic masses, as well as the importance of early operations for low-grade splenic lesions. The simultaneous occurrence of inflammatory pseudotumor of the spleen and lepidic adenocarcinoma of the lung sheds light on the need for comprehensive evaluation and multidisciplinary treatment strategies for patients with rare concurrent malignancies. This case report may also be corroborated by future similar reports that may unfold a discovery of a genetic association or syndromic disorder. This case underscores the critical role of surgical intervention and thorough evaluation in patients with rare concurrent malignancies, such as splenic inflammatory pseudotumor and lepidic adenocarcinoma. Future cases may reveal potential genetic or syndromic links, further guiding treatment and surveillance strategies.
