Hepatic Pseudolymphoma Mimicking Neoplasia in Primary Biliary Cholangitis: A Case Report

Published on: 19th December, 2024

Visualizing a nodule in the liver parenchyma of a patient with chronic liver disease raises the suspicion of hepatic malignancy. We report here the case of a 63-year-old female with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in whom a hepatic pseudolymphoma (HPL) was incidentally detected. This fairly rare lesion mimics primary liver cancer, has no specific radiological features, and requires histology for a definite diagnosis. This tumor-like lymphoid liver proliferation has been reported in clinical situations with immune-mediated inflammation including PBC. It can be observed in many organs but very rarely in the liver. The diagnosis of HPL should be considered when detecting a liver nodule in a patient with this particular chronic cholestatic liver disease.
