A Case of Primary Hepatic Malignant Lymphoma Treated by Liver Resection

Abstract

A surgically resected case of primary hepatic malignant lymphoma, an extremely rare malignant neoplasm of the liver, is reported. A 67-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital complaining of general fatigue. She was diagnosed with small liver cancer with hepatitis C in segment V by computed tomography, celiac angiography, and other methods. Therefore, she underwent percutaneous ethanol injection therapy after needle biopsy of the tumor. The tumor, however, was histologically diagnosed as non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the liver and was removed by subsegmentectomy of the liver (S5). One year after surgical treatment, there was no evidence of recurrence.
