Abstract: Lymphomas are rarely associated with liver disease. We hereby present a case of anaplastic T cell lymphoma in a 45-year-old female, who had received four cycles CHOP chemotherapy regimen and was evaluated for abdominal pain, fever along with weight loss.

Serological workup was positive for hepatitis C infection while her liver biopsy showed features of autoimmune hepatitis. She was managed with steroids and azathioprine along with direct acting antiviral agents.
