Abstract
While involvement of the liver by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a relatively frequent event, primary liver lymphoma is an uncommon disease. We describe a case of synchronous primary hepatic lymphoma and epidermoid lung carcinoma occurring in a 61-year-old male patient. Complete remission of both diseases was achieved with a radical approach, which included combination chemotherapy and surgery. The patient has now been in persisting complete remission for 40 months after surgery.
