Primary liver lymphomas usually present with the clinical picture of a liver tumor, and are characterized by a predominantly portal invasion by lymphoid cells of the B-cell phenotype. We report a case of primary sinusoidal lymphoma of the liver, in a 36 year-old male patient, revealed by homogeneous hepatosplenomegaly and infiltration of liver sinusoids by morphologically normal lymphocytes, without destruction of the parenchyma. Immunohistochemistry in paraffin-embedded tissue sections was positive for the pan T-cell marker MTI, weakly positive for UCHLI, and negative for CD3, and B-cell markers were negative; these findings were consistent with the diagnosis of T-cell lymphoma. The clinical, histological and immunological presentation of this lymphoma was similar to that of hepatosplenic gamma delta T-cell lymphoma. Autoimmune hemolytic anaemia preceded the lymphoma. Despite chemotherapy, the patient died 24 months after the initial presentation in the leukemic phase. A better understanding of this exceptional but characteristic entity is required for an accurate and early diagnosis.
