BACKGROUND: Primary liver non-Hodgkin's lymphomas have peculiar clinical and biological patterns. This study correlates these patterns with pathology and outcome.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Clinical records and histology of patients with primary liver non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, treated at our institution over a 20-year period, were reviewed. Lymphoproliferations occurring after liver transplantation were excluded. Survival analyses were performed with patients from the other published series (62 patients).
RESULTS: Our series included eight patients. Three patients had a nodular liver infiltration, corresponding to a large B-cell lymphoma. Five patients had a diffuse liver infiltration, of whom three had a T-cell lymphoma with predominant sinusoid infiltration, and two had a large B-cell lymphoma. Patients with diffuse liver infiltration presented with hepatomegaly, and two of these also had acute liver failure. Diffuse infiltration had a worse prognosis than nodular infiltration (P = 0.0033). Among these latter patients, those treated with an anthracycline-based chemotherapy had a better outcome (P < 0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with primary liver lymphomas can be classified in two groups, depending on the type of infiltration. Those with nodular infiltration may benefit from anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Diffuse infiltration has a bad prognosis, and should be suspected in patients presenting with altered liver functions and hepatomegaly.
