Summary
Primary hepatic peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PHL) is a rare liver cancer. This study presents a case of PHL in a 59-year-old male, diagnosed via hepatic mass and confirmed by biopsy.
Area of Science:
- Hepatology
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Primary hepatic peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PHL) is an exceptionally rare malignancy.
- Diagnosis of PHL involves identifying a hepatic mass without systemic involvement.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a rare case of primary hepatic peripheral T-cell lymphoma.
- To highlight diagnostic criteria and treatment approaches for PHL.
Main Methods:
- Case presentation of a 59-year-old male patient.
- Diagnostic evaluation including imaging for hepatic mass and exclusion of other conditions.
- Histopathological examination with immunohistochemical staining of tissue biopsies.
Main Results:
- A diagnosis of primary hepatic peripheral T-cell lymphoma was confirmed.
- The patient presented with a hepatic mass, normal tumor markers, and no signs of lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, or bone marrow involvement.
Conclusions:
- Primary hepatic peripheral T-cell lymphoma is a rare differential diagnosis for hepatic masses.
- Surgical resection followed by chemotherapy represents a potential treatment strategy for PHL.
