Abstract

Inflammatory pseudotumor is an uncommon mass which develops most frequently in the lung of young adults. It is characterized by localized fibrous proliferations with chronic inflammatory cell infiltration. Due to its rarity and similarity in radiologic appearance with malignant hepatic tumors, hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor (HIPT) is often misdiagnosed and resected accidentally. We report a case of HIPT which was unnecessarily resected due to synchronous small peripheral cholangiocarcinoma located on the other segment of liver.
