EE-116 - Primary Hepatic Lymphoma - Pictorial Review of Recent Cases and Differential Diagnosis
Abstract
Objectives
To review and illustrate the main features and imaging findings of the primary hepatic lymphoma, and to demonstrate clues for the differential diagnosis including main potential mimickers. Presentation will cover the spectrum of primary liver lymphoma-FLL based on multimodality evaluation in eight cases from our hospital database with diagnostic confirmation.
Background
Lymphoma with liver involvement may be seen with or without concomitant nodal disease and classified as primary or secondary forms. Primary hepatic lymphoma is a rare clinical condition, and contrast-enhanced CT/MR may unexpectedly point out to other differentials precluding the correct diagnosis.
Imaging findings OR Procedure findings
Hepatic lymphoma may depict a single, large FLL, or present with multiple parenchymal FLL, obliging to rule out peliosis, abscesses, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis and/or infiltrative forms of hepatocellular carcinoma. Generally hypodense after contrast media administration our cases will also cover the less typical hypervascular FLL in this clinical context.
Conclusion
Definitive diagnosis of primary hepatic lymphoma should be complemented by pathological examination in order to avoid pitfalls and postpone or apply wrong therapeutical decisions.We hope to increase the radiologist awareness for this infrequent clinical condition making the diagnosis more expeditious.
