Regression of inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver under conservative therapy.
Inflammatory pseudotumors (IPT) of the liver are rare benign tumors of unknown origin. Most previously reported cases were initially misdiagnosed and treated surgically; thus, their course under medical treatment remains unclear. We report an additional case of hepatic IPT with a favorable outcome under medical treatment without surgical resection. New imaging and pathologic features of this disease are presented that may facilitate preoperative recognition and appropriate treatment.
