Multiple inflammatory pseudotumors of the liver and spleen

Abstract

Background: A 43-year-old woman presented with periods of fever of 4 weeks duration, epigastric pain and significant loss of weight (16 kg). Laboratory findings revealed elevated C-reactive protein and slightly elevated liver function tests. She had a history of gastric banding 7 years before, which has been removed 8 weeks before. This surgery was complicated by local abscess formation.
