Primary Non Hodgkin Lymphoma of Liver: A Rare Diagnosis
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) of liver is a very rare malignancy. Here we report a case of a 50 year old man presented to us with history of pain upper abdomen for last 2 months. A computed tomography of the abdomen revealed enlarged liver with multiple hypodense lesion in 4th segment of liver. Diagnosis of primary NHL liver was made using ultrasound guided FNAC and biopsy. The patient is currently being treated with a CHOP (cyclophosphamide–doxorubicin–vincristine–prednisolone) regimen. The case has many unique features, including normal liver function tests; no type B symptoms; and negative serology for viruses. The case demonstrates that primary hepatic lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of space-occupying liver lesions in presence of normal levels of alpha-fetoprotein and carcinoembryonic antigen.
