Abstract
RAMIREZ-DE-LA-PISCINA, Patricia et al. Budd-Chiari syndrome secondary to inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver: report of a case with a 10-year follow-up. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2013, vol.105, n.6, pp.360-362. ISSN 1130-0108. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1130-01082013000600009.
Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) of the liver is a rare benign tumor of unknown origin, it has the appearance of a malignant tumor but has a benign histology and clinical course. We report a case of a 63-year-old man diagnosed of IPT of the liver and followed for 10 years. During the clinical course, he developed a secondary Budd-Chiari syndrome, with a successful response to a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt over a 5-year follow-up period.
Keywords : Budd-Chiari syndrome; Inflammatory pseudotumor; transjugular intrahepatic portal-systemic shunt.
