18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography in the diagnosis and follow-up of primary hepatic diffuse large B-cell Lymphoma: A clinical case report.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

Primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL) is an extremely rare manifestation of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. There were few cases about PHL in recent years, while cases using positron emission tomography (PET) modalities for both diagnosis and follow-up were even rare.

Patient concerns

A 29-year-old man complaining of dull epigastric pain for 2 weeks.

Diagnosis

The features of liver biopsy and immunohistochemistry were consistent with diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Since there were no other foci of lymphoma on the F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (F-FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) images, the patient was further diagnosed with PHL.

Interventions

Since the lesions were mainly confined to the right lobe of liver, partial hepatectomy and radiofrequency ablation wer
