ABSTRACT
A 59-year-old woman suffered from fever and upper abdominal pain. The computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a liver lesion. Conventional imaging techniques (CT, magnetic resonance imaging, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography) did not allow for a consistent diagnosis. Fine needle biopsy of the liver lesion was performed. Histologically, fibrotic inflammation was found and an inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) diagnosed. Despite treatment with steroids and antibiotics, the size of the IPT increased; thus, surgical resection was necessary. In case of fever of unknown origin, IPT should be considered as a potential diagnosis.
