Sumario:Acute liver failure (ALF) associated with malignant infiltration of the liver is rare and its pathological and radiologic features remain poorly described. An 87-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for anorexia for several days, high-grade fever from the previous day, and liver dysfunction but suddenly died on day 3 of hospitalization due to ventricular fibrillation. The patient was diagnosed at autopsy with malignant diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. To the best of our knowledge, this report represents a valuable addition to the ALF literature describing a case of ALF associated with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma diagnosed at autopsy.
