“…We reviewed the case reports of hepatic IMT children in an attempt to evaluate their characteristics as a whole. The main features are depicted in Table 1 (4,(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36).…”

Inflammatory pseudotumors, now more aptly termed inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs), are uncommon benign neoplasms, which have been reported in most organs and tissues in the body. Originally described and commonly found in the lung, they are also found in the liver of children and adults. We review the literature and analyze the features of the hepatic IMTs reported in children, along with a case report of a 15-month-old boy who had a persistent IMT in the liver and underwent surgical resection for the same following a trial of conservative management.

“…1,2,8 Ultrasonography often demonstrates a mosaic pattern or hypoechoic tumors, which are depicted as low-density tumors by plain and enhanced contrast computed tomography. [9][10][11] However, such laboratory and image fi ndings are not specifi c for IPT. Although some of our laboratory and imaging data, such as hypergammaglobulinemia, elevated CRP and CA19-9 levels, and a hypoechoic and low-density tumor indicated IPT, mimicked tumor thrombus, intrahepatic metastasis and invasion to Arantius' duct made both the pre-and intraoperative diagnosis very confusing.…”

Multiple Inflammatory Pseudotumor of the Liver, Mimicking Cholangiocarcinoma with Tumor Embolus in the Hepatic Vein: Report of a Case

et al. 2007

A 68-year-old Japanese woman complaining of general fatigue and intermittent high fever was admitted to our hospital. Abdominal ultrasonography showed two tumors in the lateral segment of the liver, with soft tissue in the left hepatic vein that was considered to be a tumor embolus. A diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma was made based on various radiological and laboratory examinations and therefore a surgical resection was performed. Microscopically, the tumor consisted of inflammatory cells, which had aggressively invaded the hepatic vein and Arantius' duct. The pathological diagnosis was inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) that had invaded the hepatic vein. Although many cases of hepatic IPT have been previously reported, cases of hepatic IPT massively invading the hepatic vein are very rare as far as we could determine, based on a literature search. We herein report this case and discuss the diagnosis and treatment regarding hepatic IPT with massive venous invasion.
