Primary hepatic lymphoma mimicking fulminant hepatic failure.
A patient with clinical presentation mimicking fulminant hepatic failure was found to have primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of liver on autopsy. He had tender nodular hepatomegaly, elevated liver enzymes and appearance of a diffuse infiltrative disorder on sonography. Extensive diffuse infiltration may be the dominant factor for the rapid hepatocellular failure in this case.
