“…Due to its ambiguity, the lesion completely resolves in some patients receiving antibiotics and/or corticosteroids, but some lesions recur [15][16][17]. Numerous studies have suggested surgery as the treatment of choice, particularly for patients with severe symptoms or an indeterminate diagnosis [1,18,19].…”

A 64-year-old man was referred to our hospital for investigation of thickening of the gallbladder wall and hepatic mass. Repeated endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration examinations of these lesions excluded malignant diseases. Cholecystectomy and resection of lateral section confirmed xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis and inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) associated with granulomatous cholangitis. Ten months after surgery, a new lesion appeared in the liver medial section, associated with fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation. After performing resection of the affected segment, recurrent IPT related with granulomatous cholangitis was diagnosed. No subsequent recurrence was seen during follow-up. This represents the first report of recurrent hepatic IPT originating from granulomatous cholangitis after resection of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis and IPT caused by granulomatous cholangitis.

“…An inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is a benign and rare process composed of polymorphous inflammatory cell infiltrates and variable amounts of fibrosis. IPT most commonly occurs in the lung, but it can be found in other locations, including the central nervous system, major salivary glands, kidneys, liver, omentum, ovaries, larynx, urinary bladder, breasts, pancreas, spleen, lymph nodes, skin, soft tissues, and orbit of the eye [ 1 - 2 ].…”

“…IPT of the liver is a challenging diagnosis even with histological criteria since needle biopsy alone may be insufficient. Consequently, some authors suggest surgery as the treatment of choice for patients with severe symptoms or an indeterminate diagnosis [ 2 ]. Instead, successful medical treatment among the spontaneous regression of the tumor has been reported [ 2 - 5 ].…”

An inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver is a rare tumor-like lesion consisting of an inflammatory infiltrate that often can mimic a malignant liver neoplasm. The cause of an inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver is unknown, but it has been reported to be associated with different comorbid conditions most likely inflammatory or infectious in origin. We present an 83-year-old female who presented with a symptomatic gallstones disease and an incidental finding of inflammatory pseudotumor mimicking intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in preoperative liver imaging. Differentiating a pseudotumor from hepatic space-occupying neoplasms is crucial since it is one of the most important tumor-mimicking lesions. The imaging findings of this rare tumor can pose diagnostic difficulties because of the amount of fibrosis and cellular infiltration. If malignancy has been excluded, patients can be treated conservatively with steroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. However, complete surgical resection has been the modality of treatment for most of the cases with an indeterminate diagnosis.

“…Adverse reactions to IFN-α have previously been mentioned. Ribavirin is a major ribonucleic analog that is used to suppress HCV, but it often leads to a series of adverse reactions such as anemia, pain, fever, and trouble breathing (8,9). Besides these adverse events, most antivirals are costly.…”
