[A case of non Hodgkin Lymphoma in a patient with hepatic cirrhosis by the hepatitis C virus].
We present a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of B cells in a patient with cirrhosis by hepatitis C virus. Our patient presented scarce symptomatology related with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A notable hyperbilirrubinaemia with hypoalbuminaemia were the only features that allowed us to suspect the diagnosis. The diagnostic was proved by necroscopic study. There are several factors involved in the etiology of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, including infectious agents. Recent Italian studies have suggested an association between C virus infection and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We have carried out a bibliographical revision of this association to conclude that important geographical differencies must be pointed out.
