Am J Gastroenterol. 1998 Feb;93(2):274-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1572-0241.1998.270_4.x.

Abstract

We report the case of a 65-year-old patient who was diagnosed with large-cell lymphoma arising and remaining localized in the porta hepatis, causing obstructive jaundice, and resulting into ascending cholangitis, septicemia, and acute renal failure. We discuss how jaundice can be a manifestation of both Hodgkins and non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
