Abstract
Primary malignant lymphomas of the liver are extremely rare. Thus far, 28 cases (1–13) of this entity have been described, but after careful clinical and histological staging, no other sites of extrahepatic involvement were demonstrated in 17 of these cases (2, 3, 5–13). We recently had the opportunity to investigate and manage a case of true primary malignant peripheral T-cell lymphoma of the liver in a 22-year-old man. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of a primary T-cell lymphoma of the liver. The patient was successfully treated with a right trisegmentectomy and no tumor recurrence has appeared after five years.
