RESUMEN
This case report explores a rare foreign body-induced inflammatory pseudotumor in the caudate lobe of a 47-year-old male. The patient was admitted to the hospital due to epigastric pain and fever. Radiological examinations led to the diagnosis of a malignant tumor, and a resection of the caudate lobe lesion was performed. The excised tumor specimen revealed a fishbone-like foreign body. Immunohistochemistry suggested that this was an inflammatory pseudotumor rather than a malignant tumor. This prompted us to contemplate the origin of the foreign body and the mechanisms by which it led to the formation of the inflammatory pseudotumor.
