Abstract
Inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver (IPL) is a rare fibro-inflammatory mass of unknown etiology, resembling a neoplasm. We report the occurrence of such a lesion in a young male Cambodian refugee to Canada who had a history of chronic cholangitis. Imaging studies suggested an intrahepatic abscess. Our report suggests that the lesion in this patient may have resulted from chronic portal pyemia.
