Abstract: | Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPL) of the liver is a rare benign clinicopathologic entity, which has been associated with infectious conditions, including alimentary, digestive tract and mouth infections. We report a new case, where a patient developed hepatic IPL that revealed endometritis related to Corynebacterium infection; the patient had a favorable outcome of hepatic IPL after appropriate antibiotic therapy initiation. Our findings therefore confirm that antibiotic therapy may be effective in patients with hepatic IPL associated with underlying infections, avoiding unnecessary surgery. Our data also indicate that when hepatic IPL is observed, a complete clinical evaluation, including gynecological evaluation, should be systematically performed. |
