Acute liver failure (ALF) is an uncommon manifestation of liver disease and constitutes a medical emergency for which early identification is necessary. Hepatic involvement by hematologic malignancies although frequent, rarely causes severe hepatic dysfunction. Even more, acute hepatic failure as the first manifestation of a hematologic malignancy is extremely uncommon, although some cases have been reported in the literature. We describe the case of a 61 y/o puertorrican veteran who developed acute hepatic failure secondary to massive infiltration of the liver by a recurrent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
急性肝衰竭（ALF）是肝脏疾病的一种罕见表现，是一种需要早期识别的医疗急症。血液系统恶性肿瘤累及肝脏虽然常见，但很少导致严重肝功能障碍。更有甚者，急性肝衰竭作为血液系统恶性肿瘤的首发表现极为罕见，尽管文献中已有一些病例报道。我们描述了一名61岁波多黎各退伍军人的病例，他因复发性非霍奇金淋巴瘤大量浸润肝脏继发急性肝衰竭。
