Tumori. 1990 Oct 31;76(5):517-23. doi: 10.1177/030089169007600522.

Abstract

Inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver is a very rare lesion. Herein we describe two cases of this entity which occurred in two women aged 22 and 49 years, respectively. Both cases were considered to be clinically malignant and only the histopathologic examination revealed the non-neoplastic nature of the disease. Ultrastructural and immunohistochemical studies further supported the evidence of a reactive disease.
