description Inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare benign neoplasm that has been described in nearly the entire body and is often mistaken for malignancy. The exact etiology remains unknown. We present a case of small bowel obstruction secondary to an inflammatory pseudotumor. The patient’s symptoms and radiological findings were very concerning for underlying malignancy. En-block resection was recommended to prevent a recurrence. We aim to shed light on this rare cause of small bowel obstruction.
