Abstract

Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the liver is a very rare malignancy. Here, we report the case of a 78-year old man who presented with complaints of fatigue, slight weight loss and decreased appetite; since 6 months. Be-cause he was anemic and regularly taking aspirine, we first suspected chronic blood loss from the stomach as a cause of anemia. Gastroduodenoscopy was planned as the next step. It revealed an external hemispheric, mobile com-pression on the greater curvatura of the stomach; which had to be further evaluated via whole abdominal computed tomography with contrast Ab-dominal computed tomography demonstrated hepatomegaly caused by mul-tiple mass lesions, with necrosis at the center. Next, a positron-emission to-mography was advised; and it revealed potential malignacy with widespread lymph node metastases and malignant ascites. Liver biopsy performed under ultrasonographic guidance revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the liver. The patient is now under medical oncology follow-up, and receiving chemotherapy. Based on our findings, physicians should be more aware and consider that external gastric compression on routine gastroscopy may be an indicator of a more serious disease.

Özet

Karaciğerin primer non-Hodgkin lenfoması, oldukça nadir görülür. Bu yazı-da; son 6 aydır yorgunluk-hafif kilo kaybı-iştahsızlık yakınmaları olan 78 ya-şındaki bir erkek hastanın vaka sunumunu yapıyoruz. Hasta anemik olduğu ve düzenli aspirin kullanım öyküsünden dolayı, öncelikle mideden kronik kan kaybı olasılığını düşünerek, bir gastroskopi yapmayı planladık. Gast-roskopide; büyük kurvatura üzerinde hareketli, yarım küre şeklinde bir dış bası izi görerek; bir sonraki basamak olarak kontrastlı tüm batın tomografisi çektirdik. Batın tomografisinde; çok sayıda kitle lezyonlarının sebep olduğu, büyümüş bir karaciğer saptandı. Yapılan pozitron emisyon tomografisinde yaygın lenf nodu tutulumu olan, assite sebep olmuş muhtemel bir maligni-te tespit edildi. Ultrasonografi eşliğinde karaciğer biyopsisi gerçekleştirildi, patolojik tanı karaciğerin yaygın büyük B hücreli lenfoması olarak geldi. Hasta şu anda medikal onkolojinin takibinde olup, kemoterapi seanslarına girmektedir. Umarız ki yazımız, gastroskopi yapan meslektaşlarımızda, işlem sırasında saptanan böyle bir dış basının altından ilginç tanılar çıkabileceğine dair farkındalık yaratır.
