A 63-year-old man who had been followed up for chronic hepatitis B and A-Pshunt in lateral segment of the liver was admitted to the hospital because of a cancer of the ascending colon. The lesion of the liver had a very slow growth. Right hemicolectomy and lateral segmentectomy of the liver were performed. The tumor of the liver was pathologically diagnosed as non Hodgkin lymphoma. Primary Malignant lymphoma of the liver is very rare. There are only 53 cases of primary hepatic lymphoma reported in the world by our knowledge. We can expect that combination of hepatectomy and chemotherapy lead to a relatively good prognosis.
