Inflammatory pseudotumour of the liver.
Inflammatory pseudotumours of the liver are uncommon, usually mistaken for malignant lesions and resected. This report describes the presentation of an inflammatory pseudotumour of the liver in a 28-year-old male which was demonstrated on C.T. scanning and diagnosed by percutaneous needle biopsy. This case was treated conservatively and spontaneously resolved within four months, emphasising the need to consider this lesion in the differential diagnosis of an intrahepatic mass.
