ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is a rare and benign lesion that mimics malignancy and can develop in any part of the body. The pathophysiology and etiology of these quasineoplastic lesions remain unclear. CASESUMMARY:
We report a case of a 65-year-old male who presented with fevers, night sweats, and unintentional weight loss following an influenza infection and was found to have multiple hepatic IPT's following an extensive work up.CONCLUSION:
Our case highlights the importance of considering hepatic IPT's in the differential in a patient who presents with symptoms and imaging findings mimicking malignancy shortly following a viral infection.
