Pseudo cirrhosis refers to a condition that mimics the features of cirrhosis on imaging studies, typically seen in patients with certain types of liver disease, particularly after liver surgery or in those with metastatic cancer. Unlike true cirrhosis, pseudo cirrhosis does not involve the same level of irreversible fibrosis or scarring of the liver. It can present with similar symptoms, such as abdominal pain and ascites, but often indicates a different underlying pathology. Diagnosis usually requires a combination of imaging, clinical assessment, and sometimes biopsy to distinguish it from true cirrhosis.
