Abstract
SummaryHepatic lymphoma is a rare disease with poor prognosis because of delayed diagnosis. The disease comprises primary, metastatic, and intravascular hepatic lymphomas. The pathological characteristics of lymphomas differ contributing to difficulty in early diagnosis. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment result in improved prognosis; therefore, diagnostic radiology and its development with various contrast agents are critical for improving disease outcomes. Herein, we review hepatic lymphomas and summarize the results of imaging studies in correlation with pathological characteristics. The information provided will help physicians in early diagnosis and thereby improving prognosis.
