PURPOSE: To review the current management options in inflammatory pseudotumours via analysis of ten cases from this unit the largest experience of this pathology in a Western series. To assess the medical and operative options available for this condition and the varying outcomes and the lessons learned in this unit over the time period. RESULTS: Data from the ten cases were analysed and a comprehensive review of the published literature to date has detailed 128 case reports with 215 cases of inflammatory pseudotumour of the liver. Data analysed included patient demographics, diagnostic modalities, details of treatment and eventual outcome. The data was tabulated using an Excel spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel 2004 for Mac 2004.Version 11.0). Categorical variables were compared using Pearson's chi(2) test and p values <0.05 were defined as statistically significant. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS for Windows (Version 9.0, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). CONCLUSION: Emphasis is placed on a preferred medical management initially for this tumour with a good prognosis coupled with regular follow up. There may be a need for surgical resection cases where diagnosis is unclear or the patient is not responding to medical treatment with progression of disease or symptoms. |
