Hepatic Hodgkin lymphoma is a rare disease, characterized by the presence of abundant granulofibrous stroma, and its radiological features have rarely been described. We report a 67-year-old man, who presented with liver masses that showed apparent delayed enhancement, along with systemic lymphadenopathy and musculoskeletal lesions. Repeated percutaneous needle biopsy, however, failed to confir...

Fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) is a relatively rare manifestation of Hodgkin's lymphoma. Clinical features, laboratory findings, and imaging of the liver are usually inconclusive, and liver biopsy may be required for confirmation. We present a case of an FHF in a woman 1 week after the diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma. Chemotherapy could not be instituted due to hepatic encephalopathy and other...

We report here a case of an older woman, 90 years old on admission, who presented with general deterioration, fever, abdominal pain, large hepatic mass, and was found to have an extra-nodal large B-cell lymphoma of the liver. The patient was successfully treated with multi-agent chemotherapy and followed up for 2 years with no recurrence of the disease. To the best of our knowledge this is the ...

We report here a case of hepatic lymphoma and splenic aspergillosis in an elderly patient with diabetes mellitus, exhibiting hepatosplenic abscesses mimicking melioidosis. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of a diffuse hepatic large B-cell lymphoma. Biopsy of the spleen revealed a clump of fungus with a slender shape and dichotomous branching, morphologically consistent with aspergil...

Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), a serious complication that mainly occurs after hematopoietic-stem cell transplantation (HSCT), is caused by damage to the sinusoidal endothelial cells after the obstruction of the sinusoid. Recently, hepatic SOS was reported to occur after non-HSCT chemotherapies. This report describes a patient who experienced hepatic SOS after non-HSCT chemother...

Patients with primary gastric lymphoma (PGL) are often treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) in three to four fields to reduce the dose to the left kidney. However, the liver dose is higher than conventional parallel-opposed fields. This study was designed to evaluate hepatic dysfunction after 3D-CRT in patients with PGL. The data of 20 PGL patients treated with 3D-CRT ...

Sporadic Burkitt's Lymphoma (BL) is a highly aggressive form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. Though usual presentation involves abdominal lymphadenopathy with possible solid organ involvement, sporadic BL can rarely present with peritoneal lymphomatosis. We present a unique case with rapid evolution of BL presenting as peritoneal and omental lymphomatosi...

Primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL) is a rare malignancy, which is frequently misdiagnosed. Although chemotherapy is the treatment of choice there are reports that a combination of surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy can offer better results. Herein we present an interesting case of a large primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma originating from liver was treated with a liver which resection and chemotherapy.
