    Author: Passalides A, Keramidas D, Mavrides G.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr Surg; 1996 Feb; 6(1):35-7. PubMed ID: 8721177.
    Abstract:
    A case of hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor with preoperative diagnosis of malignancy in a 14-year-old girl is reported. The lesion manifested clinically with prolonged fever of unknown etiology. Accurate diagnosis was established by laparotomy, resection of the tumor and histological examination. The patient remains asymptomatic during a 2-year follow-up. Inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver should be considered in the differential diagnosis of such cases and the treatment might be more conservative after accurate diagnosis establishment, which is nevertheless difficult to achieve.
