[Isolated inflammatory syndrome: think of benign tumors of the liver].
The authors report seven cases of benign tumors of the liver revealed by elevated acute phase reactants. They show that these elevated acute phase reactants are not linked with a particular histological diagnosis, the presence of tumor necrosis and that they disappear with the chirurgical cure of the tumor.
