Abstract:
We described the case of a woman with idiopathic granulomatous hepatitis who developed a type B lymphoma with serous effusion six years later. This association raised the hypothesis that sarcoidosis or lymphoma could present as idiopathic liver granuloma. We suggest that lymphoma developed in our patient as a consequence of the granulomatous hepatitis. This lymphoma was particular because only sera were involved.
