Multiple
hepatic inflammatory pseudotumors with elevated alpha-fetoprotein and alpha-fetoprotein lectin 3 fraction with various PET accumulations: a case report. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed the presence of lesions in the patient’s liver. a A low-density mass, 24 mm in size, in segment III on plain CT. b Enhancement of the lesion in the early phase was noted. c In the late phase, washout was observed. The tumor was in contact with the left hepatic vein (LHV). d The tumor in segment VIII was not clear on plain CT. e An 8-mm tumor was also present in segment VIII of the liver showing contrast enhancement. f Washout was noted in the delayed phase

Hepatic inflammatory pseudotumors (IPT), also known as xanthogranulomas or plasma cell granulomas of the liver, are rare benign hepatic lesions.

Epidemiology

Most common in young adults with males affected more than females .

Pathology

Etiology is unknown .

Macroscopic appearance

Hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor is often seen as a well-circumscribed, encapsulated inflammatory mass.

Histology

Hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor is characterized by a large population of polyclonal plasma cells with a variable amount of fibrosis, foamy histiocytes, and other chronic inflammatory cells .

Associations
Subtypes
  • hepatic parenchymal inflammatory pseudotumor (more common)
  • biliary inflammatory pseudotumor 

Radiographic features

Radiological findings of hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor are not characteristic and definitive diagnosis requires needle biopsy (sometimes insufficient ) or surgery .

CT

In most reported cases, they appear as hypoattenuating masses with a variable degree of hepatic enhancement .

MRI
Signal characteristics
  • T1: hypointense
  • T2: hyperintense
  • T1C+: heterogeneous enhancement
