A 7‐yr‐old boy presented with obstructive jaundice secondary to an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor centered on the hepatic hilum and extending into the liver. The tumor was further complicated by portal vein phlebitis and occlusion. Attempted resection of the tumor with portal vein reconstruction and bilioenteric drainage was unsuccessful and he required urgent orthotopic liver transplantation. In contrast to more peripheral inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors in the liver, hilar lesions are locally aggressive, causing occlusive portal phlebitis and biliary obstruction. Successful management may include the need for liver transplantation.
