A rrare ccase oof iinflammatory ppseudotumour oof tthe bbronchus, ooccur- ring iin aan aachondroplastic w woman

An inflammatory pseudotumour of the lung in an achondroplastic woman is described. The occurrence of both conditions in the same patient pro- bably represents a coincidental finding. However, recurrent pulmonary infections, as frequently seen in achondroplasia, may be relevant, because a history of antecedent infection is noted in one third of cases of inflammatory pseudotumours. Despite extensive debridement of the pseudotumour by neodymium yttrium aluminium gar- net (NdYAG) laser therapy, early recurrence occurred.
