Abstract
Inflammatory pseudotumor is rare benign lesion ad uncommon is a multiple localization of the liver and spleen. We report a case of inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver associated with an other lesion in the spleen, a 53-years-old ma in which we observed the evolution of clinical picture. Making the diagnosis is often difficult, despite the use of the modern imaging and laboratories techniques, and generally these masses often confuse with others lesions, such as primary or secondary neoplasm, because the clinical presentation and morphological appearance are often unspecific. The medical treatment seems to be more appropriate for patients when it is possible make a correct diagnosis with a biopsy of the lesion. In the other cases, the surgical procedure is the best treatment that must be supported by histologic examination.
