Objective. Primary hepatic lymphoma is a rare disease. And the clinical manifestations of this disease are nonspecific. The objective of this paper is to improve clinicians' understanding of this disease. Methods. We analyzed the clinical characteristics of a case of primary hepatic lymphoma in association with hepatitis B virus infection and reviewed the literature. Conclusion. The clinical ma...

OBJECTIVES Primary hepatic lymphoma is an uncommon cause of hepatic space-occupying lesions. METHODS We describe the case of a 73-year-old man with primary hepatic lymphoma, who presented with a low-grade fever and lower limb weakness which had progressed in the past 2 months. RESULTS Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography showed multiple small hepatic tumors. Echo-guided biopsy of th...

INTRODUCTION Primary hepatic lymphoma is an unusual form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that usually presents with constitutional symptoms, hepatomegaly and signs of cholestatic jaundice. Diffuse hepatic infiltration is uncommon and presentation with acute hepatic failure even more rare. The presence of markedly elevated ferritin levels can complicate the evaluation process and suggest alternative d...

Primary hepatic peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PHL) is extremely rare. A case of primary hepatic peripheral T-cell lymphoma of a 59-year-old male is presented in the current study. PHL lesions are diagnosed by the existence of a hepatic mass, in the absence of lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly or bone marrow involvement associated with normal tumor markers. Treatment options are surgical resection and...

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare subtype of extranodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that most commonly involves the central nervous system and skin. To our knowledge, no state-of-the art imaging findings have been reported for hepatic IVLBCL in the English literature. We report the first case of hepatic involvement of IVLBCL along with a literature review.

Considerable thymidine kinase and pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase activities were found in the plasma of rats bearing a transplanted lymphoma; neither activity was detected in plasma of hosts carrying hepatic, renal, mammary, or submaxillary gland tumors. All host livers exhibited signs of biochemical immaturity as indicated by the appropriate increases or decreases in the concentrations of t...

Govaresh/ Vol.20/ No.4/ Winter 2016 INTRODUCTION Lymphomas originating from the liver were very infrequent. These lymphomas could be either primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL)or without any systemic and lymphatic involvement consisting about 0.4% of extra nodal non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL) and 0.016% of all patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL) OR secondary involvement of the liver which occu...

The accuracy of spin lattice relaxation time (T1) measurement obtained with a low field strength magnetic resonance imager for the detection of spread of malignant lymphoma to the liver was assessed. The results of histological examination obtained at open liver biopsy were compared with liver T1 values in 27 patients with lymphoma. The normal range for T1 was established by scanning 61 healthy...

Primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL) is confined to the liver with no evidence of lymphomatous involvement in other lymphoid structures. It is a very rare malignancy representing less than 1 % of all extra nodal lymphomas. The exact cause of PHL is unknown, but it seems that there is a strong association between hepatitis C virus (HCV) and PHL. The majority of PHL patients are middle-aged men who usu...

Hematopathology is a rapidly evolving subspecialty in which diagnosis often involves integration of morphology, immunophenotyping, cytogenetics, and molecular data. Many of the recent changes are highlighted in the 2016 revision to the 4th edition of the WHO classification of tumours of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissue. Lineage (i.e. B-cell, T-cell, NK-cell) and maturation (immature vs. mature...
