title: Primary lymphoma of the liver: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Primary lymphoma of the liver (PLL) is a rare disease and estimation of the real number of cases may be difficult because strict diagnostic criteria for the definition of a primary lesion are quite often not followed. We report here on a case of a patient affected by PLL who underwent successful surgical resection of the lesion followed by chemotherapy and autologous bone marrow transplantation. The patient is alive and disease free 62 months after resection.
