An irregular hepatic flexure mass was discovered intraoperatively. The patient underwent an oncological right hemicolectomy with lymphadenectomy under the supposition that it was malignant and recovered with no short or long-term repercussions. Haemoxylin and eosin staining of the mass revealed features of a benign IPT.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n IPTs have clinical and radiological features that may be indistinguishable from those of malignancies, often resulting in extensive oncological resections despite recurrence and malignant transformation being negligibly rare.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Benign pathologies such as IPT that mimic malignancy can sometimes result in extensive investigations or radical resections, the justification of which can only be a point of contention in retrospect. The following report explores our experience with one such patient and is accompanied by a review of the literature.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Highlights<\/jats:title>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2021.106695","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,31]],"date-time":"2021-12-31T02:26:03Z","timestamp":1640917563000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Inflammatory pseudo-tumour of the colon mimicking acute appendicitis"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"90","author":[{"given":"S.","family":"Zulu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Kruger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"Morare","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Montwedi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Ngwenya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-51-20260310","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"226","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijsu.2020.10.034","article-title":"The SCARE 2020 guideline: updating consensus Surgical CAse REport (SCARE) guidelines","volume":"84","author":"Agha","year":"2020","journal-title":"Int.
