Key result
Primary lymphoma of the liver can present with multiple lesions and clinical evidence mimicking metastatic adenocarcinoma, contrasting with the typically reported solitary hypodense mass.
Highlights a rare presentation of primary lymphoma of the liver with multiple lesions mimicking metastatic adenocarcinoma.
Consider primary hepatic lymphoma in multifocal lesions mimicking metastases; extends the phenotypic spectrum and leaves open diagnostic criteria.
Primary lymphoma of the liver is rare. In the 50 previously reported cases in the literature, computed tomography usually showed a solitary, bulky hypodense area in the liver. We report a case of primary lymphoma of the liver presenting multiple lesions in the liver and clinical and biochemical evidence suggestive of metastatic adenocarcinoma of the liver.
