[Inflammatory pseudotumors of the liver. Apropos of a pediatric case with radiological and ultrasonographic features and anatomopathological correlations].
Inflammatory pseudo-tumor of the liver (IPT) are benign encapsulated masses. IPT or inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a myofibroblastic proliferation with chronic inflammatory cell infiltration of unknown origin. A four-year-old girl, with cutaneous flushing of the face and biological inflammatory syndrome was referred for abdominal investigation. Ultrasound examination showed a 5-cm mass located in the anterior segment of the right hepatic lobe. After abdominal CT showing slightly vascular feature of this right hepatic mass, diagnosis was made through percutaneous US-guided fine needle biopsy. Surgical resection was performed and pathologic examination of the mass confirmed preoperative diagnosis. Clinical outcome was good.
