Primary hepatic lymphoma: a case report and review of the literature.
We report here a case of an older woman, 90 years old on admission, who presented with general deterioration, fever, abdominal pain, large hepatic mass, and was found to have an extra-nodal large B-cell lymphoma of the liver. The patient was successfully treated with multi-agent chemotherapy and followed up for 2 years with no recurrence of the disease. To the best of our knowledge this is the oldest patient reported with such a primary extra-nodal hepatic lymphoma and a remarkably favourable response to chemotherapy.
