Clinical definition (Orphanet)
A subtype of inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver characterized by a benign, well-circumscribed tumor with diffuse lymphoplasmacytic infiltration with histological features of IgG4-related disease (numerous IgG4-positive plasma cells, prominent eosinophils, stromal fibrosis, fibroblastic proliferations and, frequently, obliterative phlebitis), and that is likely located around the hepatic hilum. Most often it is discovered as an incidental finding.
How rare: How common this is has not been clearly measured.

Research stages
Trial readiness signals
Where this condition sits on an open-data research pipeline — not how close a treatment is, and not medical advice. Empty stages often mean “not in these databases under this Mondo ID,” not “impossible.”
1/6 stages with a signal
Research-stage checklist from open sources (GenCC, literature, Monarch when enriched, ClinicalTrials.gov). Not a prognosis or care recommendation.

Biology
Genes and phenotypes
Gene–disease validity from GenCC, plus phenotypes and animal models joined from Monarch Initiative via Mondo ID — not a clinical diagnosis aid.
Do we know what causes it?
Not yet — the cause hasn't been pinned down in GenCC.
No strong gene–disease assertion joined for this Orphanet entity.
Phenotypes (Monarch / HPO)
Not enriched in this build — Monarch phenotype joins were not run for this record.

Where to find support
We do not yet link condition-specific patient organisations. These umbrella groups support undiagnosed and ultra-rare families:
India — NPRD
Last verified 2026-07-26This ORPHAcode is not on our curated NPRD list (direct or Mondo-parent match). That does not decide clinical eligibility; families in India should ask a notified Centre of Excellence about current coverage.
Hand-curated for this project. ORPHAcode mappings are best-effort and may be incomplete or imprecise for umbrella categories. Parent (Mondo) matches mean the policy lists a broader category — confirm eligibility with a Centre of Excellence. Financial entitlements summarised from public policy statements and may change. This is not official government guidance.
How we counted this
Europe PMC query (preferred label + any corrected label + Orphanet and Mondo exact synonyms, stoplisted; unioned with resolved MeSH labels when available). UMLS / OMIM / NCIT cross-references are stored on the overview but are not added to the query string.
"Lymphoplasmacytic inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver" OR "Lymphoplasmacytic inflammatory pseudotumor of liver" OR "IgG4-related inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver" OR "IgG4-related inflammatory pseudotumor of liver"
