Abstract
While involvement of the liver by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a relative ly frequent event, primary liver lymphoma is an uncommon disease. We d escribe a case of synchronous primary hepatic lymphoma and epidermoid lung carcinoma occurring in a 61-year-old male patient. Complete remis sion of both diseases was achieved with a radical approach, which incl uded combination chemotherapy and surgery. The patient has now been in persisting complete remission for 40 months after surgery.
