Misdiagnosing hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor as hepatocellular carcinoma: A case report
A 61‐year‐old Chinese male was found to have a lesion in the left liver during a routine body check‐up. Laboratory tests revealed no abnormalities except for a rise in C‐reactive protein. Computed tomography showed features suggestive of hepatocellular carcinoma. The patient underwent liver IVb segm...

description | A 61‐year‐old Chinese male was found to have a lesion in the left liver during a routine body check‐up. Laboratory tests revealed no abnormalities except for a rise in C‐reactive protein. Computed tomography showed features suggestive of hepatocellular carcinoma. The patient underwent liver IVb segmentectomy and cholecystectomy. Histopathology showed features of hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor. The C‐reactive protein decreased to close to normal on postoperative day 9. A patient with hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor who presented with features mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma was reported. A preoperatively raised C‐reactive protein was the only hint which suggested that our patient might have had hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor instead of hepatocellular carcinoma. |
