Primary hepatic lymphoma presenting as symptomatic immune thrombocytopenic purpura

Year: 1987

Type: article

Abstract: A 33-year old Arabian man presented with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura that did not respond to steroid treatment or splenectomy. A routine liver scan performed after splenectomy showed a large mass in the liver. Four years later, massive gastrointestinal bleeding led to an emergency laparotomy, which revealed well-differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma extending from the liver to the fundus and lesser curvature of the stomach. A partial gastrectomy was performed. With chemotherapy the liver mass resolved and the platelet counts have normalized for the past 30 months.
