A case of mantle-zone lymphoma of the liver with ascaris lumbricoides Linnaeus.

We report on a case of primary hepatic lymphoma that developed in a patient with chronic hepatitis C. Given that Japan is an area endemic for both hepatitis B and C viruses, we reviewed 51 Japanese cases of primary hepatic lymphoma, addressing the question as to whether the Japanese cases have unique characteristics and whether there is a causal relationship to the presence of chronic liver disease. Primary hepatic lymphoma most commonly affected middle-aged males. Presenting symptoms and physical findings were non-specific. Aminotransferases tended to stay in the low range compared with marked increases in lactate dehydrogenase. Sixteen patients (31%) had chronic liver disease, eight had liver cirrhosis and eight had chronic hepatitis, suggesting that there is a possible aetiological link between chronic liver disease and primary hepatic lymphoma.
