## TL;DR

This paper presents a rare case of liver lymphoma that initially appeared like cholangiocarcinoma, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis for proper treatment.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in describing a rare case of primary hepatic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with detailed imaging findings.

## Key findings

- Primary hepatic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma can mimic cholangiocarcinoma in imaging.
- CT, MRI, and PET/CT imaging findings are presented for diagnostic reference.
- Pathological confirmation is critical for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

## Abstract

Primary lymphoma of liver is a rare malignancy with non-specific clinical features and tumor markers. The presentation and imaging features may be indistinguishable from other hepatic malignant lesions. Pathological diagnosis is the gold standard, and early detection is essential to choose the treatment modality. Here, we share an interesting case of Primary Diffuse Large B cell lymphoma of liver and its imaging findings on Computed tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and F-18 FDG PET/CT.
