RESUMEN
Resumen Los pseudotumores inflamatorios son poco frecuentes y escasamente descritos en la literatura y han sido asociados a infecciones polimicrobianas. Se presenta el caso de un niño de 9 años, procedente de Bolivia, quien consultó por dolor abdominal, baja de peso y vómitos, diagnosticándose un pseudotumor tóraco-abdominal. El laboratorio clínico, mediante el estudio de biología molecular en tejido, permitió la identificación de uno de los probables agentes etiológicos.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Inflammatory pseudotumors are a rare pathology and scarcely reported in the literature and have been associated with polymicrobial infections. Here, we present the case of a 9 years old boy from Bolivia, who presented with abdominal pain, weight loss and vomiting, who was diagnosed with a thoraco-abdominal pseudotumor. The micro-biology and molecular laboratories in tissue allowed the identification of one of the probable etiological agents.
