Inflammatory pseudotumors of the liver are very rare, and their etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear. The diagnosis is often difficult to make because these masses often mimic other lesions such as primary neoplasms, metastases or liver abscesses. Herein, we report a rare case of progressive growing hepatic pseudotumor in a 47-year-old man. The patient presented with body weight loss and general malaise. A series of radiological examinations showed the progressive growth of the hepatic tumor from 3.5 cm to 10.0 cm in diameter within 8 months. He underwent a right lobectomy of the liver, and the final diagnosis was proven by pathology. There were no complications in the post-operative course.
