title: [Inflammatory pseudotumour of the liver].
abstract: A case study of inflammatory pseudotumour of the liver (IPL) is related. The patient presented with symptoms, biochemistry and ultrasonic findings highly indicative of a malignant disease. However, a core needle biopsy revealed inflammatory pseudotumour of the liver, an infrequent diagnosis with only about 200 cases to be found in the literature. This case illustrates the importance of core biopsy from focal processes, since IPL is a benign condition with a strong tendency to spontaneous regression.
