title: Primary malignant lymphoma in the porta hepatis: a case report.
abstract: A case of primary lymphoma in the porta hepatis is presented here. Cholangiography, angiography, ultrasonography and computed tomography suggested the presence of a mass in the porta hepatis, but all these failed to demonstrate the tumor clearly. Magnetic resonance imaging was very useful in defining the characteristics of the tumor and in delineating its extent, though it was not specifically diagnostic.
