Abstract:
We present a case of inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver (IPL), a rare benign hepatic lesion. A 66-year-old woman with fever, and right abdominal pain and mass underwent abdominal sonography and computed tomography. Both showed multiple hepatic masses. Ultrasound guided needle liver biopsy showed a dense chronic inflammatory lesion with innumerable foamy histiocytes and spindle fibroblasts consistent with IPL. She improved with conservative treatment. Clinical, pathologic, and imaging findings at IPL are reviewed.
