A CASE OF INFLAMMATORY PSEUDO-TUMOR OF THE LIVER WITH COLON CANCER

A case of inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver with colon cancer is reported and discussed with other literature. A 49-year-old male was hosptialized complaining of right hypochondralgia. He was diagnosed to have a colon cancer, at the same time when a small liver tumor was detected by some examinations. Since careful examinations could not deny a possibility that the colon cancer had metastasized to the liver, right hemicolectomy and partial resection of the liver were performed. The lesion of the liver was diagnosed as inflammatory pseudotumor pathologically. Postoperative course was favorable in fourteen months.
