Abstract

LATORRE FRAGUA, Raquel A. et al. Inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver: a condition hard to diagnose. Rev. argent. cir. [online]. 2022, vol.114, n.4, pp.359-363. ISSN 2250-639X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.25132/raac.v114.n4.1560.

Inflammatory pseudotumors of the liver are rare and lack clear etiology and pathogenesis. The preoperative diagnosis is seldom made but it avoids unnecessary surgery. We report the case of a young male patient with a history of cutaneous lupus and episodes cholangitis after an acute pancreatitis. As the imaging tests could not rule out cholangiocarcinoma, a left liver resection was performed, and the final histologic diagnosis was inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver.

Keywords : Inflammatory pseudotumor; Differential diagnosis; Liver mass.
