Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare syndrome involving maximum liver dysfunction. This disease is characterized by a less than 26-week history of coagulopathy (INR ≥1.5) and hepatic encephalopathy and generally occurs in patients without any previously known disease.
We report the case of a healthy 25-year-old subject who presented with fulminant liver failure caused by a primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the liver that required emergency liver transplantation. Diagnosis was based on pathologic confirmation of T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma and submassive hepatocyte necrosis. One year after surgery, the patient remains in complete remission.
Fulminant liver failure is a sudden-onset severe disease that can be caused by a primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the liver, which accounts for <1% of extranodal lymphomas. The diagnosis of this rare disease demands high diagnostic suspicion, and progression can be prevented through liver transplantation.
急性肝衰竭(ALF)是一种罕见的综合征,涉及严重的肝功能障碍。该疾病的特征为凝血功能障碍(国际标准化比值[INR]≥1.5)和肝性脑病的病程少于26周,且通常发生于既往无任何已知疾病的患者。
我们报告了一例25岁健康受试者的病例,该患者因原发性肝脏非霍奇金淋巴瘤导致暴发性肝衰竭,需要紧急肝移植。诊断基于富含T细胞/组织细胞的大B细胞淋巴瘤及亚大块肝细胞坏死的病理证实。术后一年,患者仍处于完全缓解状态。
暴发性肝衰竭是一种起病突然的严重疾病,可由原发性肝脏非霍奇金淋巴瘤引起,其在结外淋巴瘤中所占比例不到1%。对这种罕见疾病的诊断需要高度的诊断怀疑,通过肝移植可预防病情进展。
