Moderate hepatomegalia and portal hypertension added later on permitted to diagnose cryptogenic hepatic cirrhosis, but there were no signs of hepatocellular failure typical for this diagnosis. Two years later, there occurred peripheral blood lymphocytosis, increase in peripheral and abdominal lymph nodes, lymphoid bone marrow transformation with partial cellular anaplasia in the marrow punctuate; immunophenotyping of peripheral blood cells: monoclonal B-lymphocyte proliferation corresponding to B-chronic lymphatic leukemia - small lymphocyte lymphoma.
