Inflammatory pseudotumour (IPT), also known as plasma cell granuloma and inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour, is a rare cause of benign cervical lymphadenopathy which mimics malignant causes of cervical lymphadenopathy. The imaging features of IPT affecting the cervical lymph nodes have not previously been described. We present cross sectional imaging in a case of IPT occurring in a 42-year-old African-Caribbean man, from his initial presentation to a subsequent spontaneous reduction in the extent of lymphadenopathy.
