We examined a 70‐year‐old male patient with an inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver mimicking a peripheral‐type cholangiocellular carcinoma. Ferumoxide‐enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed residual Kupffer cell function in liver parenchyma in and surrounding the inflammatory pseudotumor involvement, which suggested the diagnosis of inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver. We correlate the MR imaging and pathologic findings in this report. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2004;20:501–505. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
