title: Prevalence and imaging of hepatic involvement in malignant lymphoproliferative disease.
abstract: From January 2005 to January 2010, 668 consecutive patients with lymphoproliferative disease were retrospectively identified. Hepatic infiltration was present at initial staging in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma [12 of 364=3.3%; age median=45; male:female (M:F)=10:2] but also Hodgkin's disease (5 of 41=12.2%; age median=19; M:F=0:5) and multiple myeloma (3 of 162=1.8%; age median=60; M:F=2:1). There were no cases of hepatic infiltration in 101 patients with leukemia. There are typical radiological patterns of hepatic involvement in lymphoproliferative disease with typical lesions characteristics.
