摘要
Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) of the liver is a rare entity often mistaken for malignancy, All children reported to date have been diagnosed and treated surgically, whereas successful medical diagnosis and treatment has been reported in adults. In this report, we describe the 13th child presenting with IPT of the liver and review the literature to determine diagnostic means to avoid unnecessary surgery, There are no specific presumptive clinical and laboratory findings, including tumor markers and imaging techniques, that distinguish IPT from other space-occupying liver lesions, The negativity of malignant liver tumor markers and hepatitis antigens and normal liver, renal, and other systems are supportive of IPT, The most important diagnostic aid is to bear this entity in mind when a child presents with an unexplained liver mass, Fine-needle aspiration is the most helpful measure to confirm the diagnosis. Surgery should be avoided in the absence of life-threatening complications.
