Abstract
Acute liver failure as an initial manifestation of primary non-Hodgkin's ly mphoma. is a rare phenomenon with a grim prognosis. We report for the first time on a patient with a history of follicular lymphoma in complete remiss ion, presenting fulminant liver failure due to massive liver infiltration b y transformed lymphoma cells and portal vein thrombosis, as an initial mani festation of transformation into large-cell lymphoma.
