Abstract EN
Primary hepatic lymphomas (PHLs) are exceedingly rare.
Many reported cases are associated with various viral serologies, and some viruses may be implicated in lymphomagenesis through emerging, though as-of-yet uncertain, mechanisms.
A review of the literature reveals previously reported cases of PHL, some of which support the potential roles of the hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV and HCV) in the development of PHL.
We describe an exceptional case of primary hepatic high-grade B-cell lymphoma, discovered at autopsy, in a patient whose clinical history is significant for coinfection with both HBV and HCV.
Additionally, attempts at cytogenetic testing of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) autopsy tissues, which we performed approximately ten years after the original autopsy, led us to question the utility of older tissue blocks in molecular and some immunohistochemical assays.
