Primary hepatic lymphoma is an unusual form of non-hodgkin’s lymphoma that usually presents clinically with a cholestasic pattern, without the presence of adenomegaly or extrahepatic invasión in early stages. It has a prevalence of 4% for extranodal non-hodgkin lymphomas and 0.016% for all lymphomas. A 54-year-old female patient presents a picture of approximately one and a half years of evolution of increased abdominal diameter, of insidious onset and progressive over time, accompanied by pain in the right hypochondrium, stitch type of mild intensity; fatigue, weight loss of approximately ten kilograms in the last two months.

Keywords : Non- Hodgkin’s lymphoma; hepatomegaly; necrosis; hepatic lymphoma; necrosis.
