INTRODUCTION: The authors report four cases of non Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) among patients infected by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). They discuss the epidemiological, physiopathological and clinical features of this association. CURRENT KNOWLEDGE AND KEY POINTS: The role of the HCV in the development of B-cell NHL is probable but the reported frequency of the association with HCV infection is variable especially in different countries. Most of the reported cases are low-grade NHL with frequent extranodal involvement. FUTURE PROSPECTS AND PROJECTS: New studies will improve the understanding of the physiopathological mechanisms that might explain the occurrence of NHL in the course of HCV infection. The recent evidence that the antiviral treatment is effective in splenic lymphoma with villous lymphocytes leads to reconsider the relationship between HCV and NHL and to think about new therapeutic possibilities.
