Figure 1 The preoperative imaging and surgical specimen in primary hepatic lymphoma. A: By computed tomography, primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL) appeared as a solitary hypoattenuating lesion with a central area of low intensity; B: PHL lesion was slightly enhanced following the administration of intravenous contrast agent; C: Pathological features revealed that the PHL lesion was an encapsulated, hypovascular tumor with central necrosis.
