title: [Inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver].
abstract: Certain rare, reactive, non-neoplastic processes are defined under the term inflammatory pseudotumor, which is constituted by the proliferation of connective tissue and chronic inflammatory infiltrate of circumscribed location. Its etiopathogenesis ins unknown, although it is thought to have a possible infectious nature. It has been described various organs, but location in the liver is exceptional. We present a new case of inflammatory pseudotumor of hepatic location, related to an "hour-glass" abscess adhered to diaphragm, this being the first case of this relation. We reviewed the literature concerning etiopathogenic, histopathologic, clinical and diagnostic aspects, and our findings are discussed.
