Acute liver failure (ALF) is an uncommon disease in the United States, affecting more than 2 000 people each year. Of all the various causes, malignant infiltration is one of the least well known and carries with it a high mortality. We describe a case of ALF as the presenting manifestation of peripheral T-cell lymphoma in an elderly woman. By reporting this case, we hope to increase early recognition of this disease process in order to potentially improve treatment outcomes.
急性肝衰竭(ALF)在美国是一种罕见疾病,每年影响超过2000人。在所有各种病因中,恶性浸润是最鲜为人知的病因之一,且死亡率很高。我们描述了一例老年女性以急性肝衰竭为外周T细胞淋巴瘤首发表现的病例。通过报告此病例,我们希望提高对这一疾病过程的早期识别,以便有可能改善治疗效果。
