Abstract:
The primary lymphoma of the liver is a rare disease. We report a case of primary hepatic T-cell lymphoma associated with crescentic glomerulonephritis. The case, a 53-year-old male was presented with a 2-year history of hepatic mass and a 1-month history of foamy urine, rapidly progressive azotemia, and oliguria. The kidney biopsy revealed diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis. The result of immunohistochemical study of liver biopsy specimen was consistent with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in T-cell lineage. Because renal function was deteriorated rapidly and there were signs of volume overload, hemodialyses were performed. Although the patient received 2 cycles of combination chemotherapy with CHOP(cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisolone, and doxorubicin), he did not respond and died of sepsis.
