Published: October 1990

Inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver is a very rare lesion. Herein we describe two cases of this entity which occurred in two women aged 22 and 49 years, respectively. Both cases were considered to be clinically malignant and only the histopathologic examination revealed the non-neoplastic nature of the disease. Ultrastructural and immunohistochemical studies further supported the evidence of a reactive disease.

Renal pseudotumors, which mimic tumors on imaging, pose diagnostic challenges that can lead to unnecessary interventions. Sensing ultrasound localization microscopy (sULM) is an advanced imaging technique that uses ultrasound imaging and microbubbles as sensors to visualize kidney functional units. This study aims to investigate whether sULM could differentiate between renal pseudotumors and tumors based on the presence of glomeruli.

Objectives: Current literature on imaging characteristics of hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor (HIPT) is limited. This study aimed to analyze the contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) features in HIPT and compare them with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CEMRI).

Methods: A total of 83 patients with histologically proven HIPT from two medical institutions were included in this study.
