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. Because  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 compression  on the greater curvatura of the stomach; which had to be further  evaluated via whole abdominal computed tomography with contrast Abdominal  computed tomography demonstrated hepatomegaly caused by multiple  mass lesions, with necrosis at the center. Next, a positron-emission tomography  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 yazıda;  son 6 aydır yorgunluk-hafif kilo kaybı-iştahsızlık yakınmaları olan 78 yaşındaki  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. Gastroskopide;  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 malignite  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.
