  • Title: [The infammatory pseudotumour -- an unusual liver tumour].
    Author: Schuessler G, Fellbaum C, Fauth F, Jacobi V, Schmidt-Matthiesen A, Ignee A, Dietrich CF.
    Journal: Ultraschall Med; 2006 Jun; 27(3):273-9. PubMed ID: 16767617.
    Abstract:
    We report on a 49-year-old male patient who was suspected to have a malignant liver tumour with enlarged perihepatic lymph nodes because of CT and ultrasound scanning. To verify the diagnosis and procure a histological specimen, the patient underwent laparotomy. Histologically, an inflammatory pseudotumour could be confirmed. This is a rare disease which can present with fever, abdominal pain, vomiting and weight loss indicating malignancy or abscess. The definite diagnosis is often only verified by surgery.
