Spontaneous regression of hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor with primary biliary cirrhosis:Case report and literature review

肝的煽动性的假肿瘤(IPT ) 是煽动性的房间渗入的增殖的纤维组织描绘的稀罕良性的非肿瘤的损害。IPT 的准确病原学仍然保持不清楚。尽管有全身的煽动性的混乱的 IPT 的协会很好被建立了，有胆管炎的一种特殊关系是显然稀罕的。我们与主要胆汁性肝硬变(PBC ) 报导肝的 IPT 的自发的回归的一个案例。迄今为止，仅仅有 PBC 的 IPT 的二个案例被报导了。在我们的情况中，然而， IPT 在有效治疗导致的 PBC 的胆管炎的改进的功课期间发展了，不同于二个以前报导的案例。我们的案例显示 IPT 的发展也不联系到胆管炎或亢奋的 gamma-globulinemia 的活动，自从我们的案例被证实当胆汁的酶和免疫球蛋白比承认上的相应价值高得多时，没有 IPT 的放射线学的联盟者。我们有二个以前报导的案例的案例的比较建议与 PBC 发生的 IPT 不代表一样的疾病实体或是为 PBC 的一个旁观者。

Hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor （IPT） is a rare benign non-neoplastic lesion characterized by proliferating fibrous tissue infiltrated by inflammatory cells. The exact etiology of IPT remains unclear. Although the association of IPT with systemic inflammatory disorders has been well established, a specific relationship with cholangitis is distinctly rare. We report a case of spontaneous regression of hepatic IPT with primary biliary cirrhosis （PBC）. To date, only two cases of IPT with PBC have been reported. In our case, however, IPT developed during the course of improvement of cholangitis of PBC induced by effective treatment, differing from two previously reported cases. Our case indicates that the development of IPT does not also relate to the activity of cholangitis and/or hyper gamma-globulinemia, since our case was confirmed radiologically to be free of IPT when biliary enzymes and immunoglobulins were much higher than the corresponding values on admission. Comparison of our case with the two previously reported cases suggests that IPT occurring with PBC does not represent the same disease entity or be a bystander for PBC.
