Primary liver lymphoma with hypercalcemia: a case report.
Primary liver lymphoma is extremely rare. The diagnosis depends on the physician's suspicions and histological examination. We report the case of a man aged 38 years who suffered from abdominal discomfort and hypercalcemia. Sonography showed a huge, solid liver tumor, and magnetic resonance imaging showed the tumor had characteristics of hypointensity on T1-weighted and hyperintensity on T2-weighted imaging. Primary liver lymphoma was diagnosed by histological examination from biopsy. We report this rare type of liver tumor and review the clinical presentation and treatment of the disease.
