Diagnosis and treatment of primary hepatic lymphoma

Primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL) is a rare type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which accounts for approximately 0.4% of extranodal non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and 0.016% of all non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (1). There are a few single cases reported before, but no significant features have been concluded due to the small-scale research. Most PHL is believed to originate from B cell. T-cell lymphoma in liver is even fewer and only a few cases of that have been reported so far (2)
