Hepatic Inflammatory Pseudotumor Mimicking Malignant Tumor With Rare Onset of Intra-abdominal Hemorrhage.
Anticancer research(2021)
摘要
BACKGROUND:Hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor (HIPT) is an uncommon benign tumor-like mass that mimics malignant tumors.
CASE REPORT:A 73-year-old man was admitted with severe epigastric pain and high fever. He had received choledocojejunostomy. Enhanced computed tomography showed a 76 mm, heterogeneous, gradual enhanced low-density mass in the caudate lobe and hyperdense fluid was detected around the mass. Based on the diagnosis of hemorrhage from a hypervascular malignant liver tumor, chemoembolization was conducted. Antibiotics (Meropenem) were administered for 2 weeks, and methylprednisolone (125 mg) was administered twice as a premedication for chemoembolization. After the 2nd chemoembolization, rapid tumor shrinkage was observed and the inflammatory changes gradually disappeared. The tumor was finally diagnosed as fibrohistiocytic type HIPT with an ultrasound-guided percutaneous tumor biopsy. The diameter of the liver tumor decreased to 15 mm and intra-abdominal hemorrhage disappeared in 3 months.
CONCLUSION:Development of HIPT can be associated with intra-abdominal hemorrhage.
