Ae. Sousa et al., CENTROCYTIC LYMPHOMA PRESENTING AS A SUBPHRENIC ABSCESS AND A SOLITARY LIVER NODULE, Hepato-gastroenterology, 44(15), 1997, pp. 664-666
Non Hodghin's lymphoma revealed by hepatic manifestations is extremely
rare. We describe here a 82-year old male patient who presented with
a right subphrenic abscess and a solitary liver tumour that was shown
to be a centrocytic lymphoma. Furthermore, asymptomatic cryptogenic li
ver cirrhosis was diagnosed. This previously unreported form of clinic
al presentation of a non Hodgkin's lymphoma as well as the association
with liver cirrhosis are discussed in the context of the recent liter
ature.
