Popis: Primary hepatic lymphoma is rare. Clinical and radiological presentations are not specific. The diagnosis is often late. Chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis, especially post-viral C usually precedes primary liver lymphoma. The differential diagnosis arises mainly with other hepatic tumors, such as atypical hypovascular cellular hepatocellular carcinoma when there is liver cirrhosis and with hypovascular hepatic metastases, especially colorectal, stomach and lung metastases. Other differential diagnosis are tuberculosis or sarcoidosis, particularly when there is multiple lesions.We report the case of a 52-year woman, with a history of hepatitis C infection, presenting liver cirrhosis with multiple hepatic lesions. Radiological aspect was not specific which makes it difficult to distinguish from other hepatic tumors, especially hypovascular liver metastases.
