Inflammatory pseudotumour is a rare pathologic lesion, of unknown aetiology, rarely involving the liver. Resection seems to be the treatment of choice and it is generally associated with a good prognosis. Histologically, these processes appear to be benign, nevertheless, aggressive courses or recurrences of inflammatory pseudotumour with tumor-like deaths have been reported. The cases of two patients are described who underwent hepatic lobectomy for a liver mass that was diagnosed as liver inflammatory pseudotumour at the initial histopathological assessment: albeit a malignant course followed and both the patients died cachectic. One patient, a 39-year-old man, had an unusually aggressive clinical course and recurrence of the disease with multiple hepatic masses and extension into the thorax six years later. In the other case, in a 28-year-old woman, the hepatic lesion was identified as a low-grade hepatic sarcoma only seven years after surgery.
