Centrocytic lymphoma presenting as a subphrenic abscess and a solitary liver nodule.
Non Hodgkin's lymphoma revealed by hepatic manifestations is extremely rare. We describe here a 82-year old male patient who presented with a right subphrenic abscess and a solitary liver tumour that was shown to be a centrocytic lymphoma. Furthermore, asymptomatic cryptogenic liver cirrhosis was diagnosed. This previously unreported form of clinical presentation of a non Hodgkin's lymphoma as well as the association with liver cirrhosis are discussed in the context of the recent literature.
