Acute liver failure (ALF) associated with malignant infiltration of the liver is rare and its pathological and radiologic features remain poorly described.

description 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.
