    OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to describe imaging features of the following genitourinary tract locations that can involve inflammatory pseudotumor: kidney, adrenal gland, retroperitoneum or pelvis, bladder, and other rare locations.


    CONCLUSION. Although* definite radiologic differentiation from malignancy is not clearly possible, we suggest that familiarity with the manifestations of inflammatory pseudo­tumor can help avoid unnecessary radical surgery before histopathologic proof of malignancy is obtained.
