Abstract
Primary hepatic lymphomas are rare hepatic malignancies which are often misdiagnosed preoperatively. Early accurate diagnosis is essential as the patients can be treated successfully with chemotherapy, eluding the need for surgery. We present a case of primary hepatic lymphoma which mimicked as focal nodular hyperplasia with normal biochemical tumor markers, and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) whole-body positron emission magnetic resonance showed intense FDG uptake in the large hepatic lesion. The patient subsequently underwent right hepatectomy, and histopathology revealed diffuse large B cell lymphoma.
