Abstract:
Inflammatory pseudotumor is a pathological process whose cause is unknown, and whose macroscopic appearance is that of a malignant tumor, but it is in fact of inflammatory nature. Inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver is infrequent, but must be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of liver masses. A case report is presented, with review of the literature. Because of its benign nature, an aggressive approach is not recommended.
