Abstract:
A 3 1/2-year-old boy presented with a palpable hepatic tumor thought on clinical and radiological grounds to be a metastasis but which was found to be an inflammatory pseudotumor on histological examination. Eighteen months previously he had received chemotherapy and radiotherapy for a stage IV Wilms' tumor, which had been surgically excised 4 months after commencing treatment. This case illustrates the importance of obtaining a histological diagnosis in the management of patients with malignant tumors.
