Abstract
Primary hepatic extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma treated by surgical resection: A case report
Highlights
There are many complicated subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)
Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma ( known as mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma) is the most common type of marginal zone lymphoma, accounting for 7-8% of all NHLs.[3]. These rare extranodal marginal zones B-cell lymphomas most commonly originate in the stomach. These tumors can arise in any extranodal site, including the skin, conjunctiva, salivary gland, thyroid, lung, breast, gallbladder, and liver.[4,5] stones were identified
Hepatocellular carcinoma was highly suspected based on these magnetic resonance image (MRI) findings
Summary
There are many complicated subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The World Health Organization and the Revised European American Lymphoma Classification subclassified NHL according to clinicopathological and characteristic histological features.[1,2] One subtype of NHL is marginal zone lymphoma, which is relatively rare and indolent. Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma ( known as mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma) is the most common type of marginal zone lymphoma, accounting for 7-8% of all NHLs.[3] These rare extranodal marginal zones B-cell lymphomas most commonly originate in the stomach These tumors can arise in any extranodal site, including the skin, conjunctiva, salivary gland, thyroid, lung, breast, gallbladder, and liver.[4,5] stones were identified. Liver magnetic resonance image (MRI) revealed a T1 hypointensity and T2 hyperintensity round well-defined mass This mass was slightly enhanced in the arterial phase and subsequently washed-out in the portal phase (Figure 2). We report a case of primary hepatic extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (or MALT lymphoma) diagnosed after surgical resection, with suspected concurrent hepatocellular carcinoma.
