Popis: The authors present a rare case of inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver whose differential diagnosis with hepatocellular carcinoma - in some cases - is only possible with the histological examination. In this case, a female patient, 38 years-old was suffering from abdominal pain, enlarged liver, thinning, tiredness and fever; alpha-fetoprotein, the liver function tests, amylase and lipase were normal. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography showed a node in the right liver lobe. The patient was submitted to a right hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma. Histological examination showed an inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver. The patient was discharged from the hospital on the seventh postoperative day; she is asymptomatic for three years.
