AB  - Sub-acute liver failure is a term that describes the relatively sudden loss of 
      liver function, usually >21 days and <26 weeks, with impaired synthetic function 
      and associated encephalopathy in a person with no pre-existing liver disease or 
      cirrhosis. It is commonly caused by viruses and drugs, less so by malignancy. Our 
      patient is a 71-year-old Japanese man who presented with signs of sub-acute liver 
      failure. A subsequent liver biopsy demonstrated involvement by B-cell non-Hodgkin 
      lymphoma. Evaluation of the bone marrow demonstrated significant marrow 
      involvement by B-cell lymphoma. The fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) 
      returned positive for t(14; 18). Noted was the patient's clinical presentation of 
      cholestasis secondary to hepatic lymphoma with no evidence of lymphadenopathy or 
      peripheralized lymphoma. Given the disease distribution, the overall findings are 
      consistent with primary hepatic follicular lymphoma as described in few case 
      reports and small case series in the literature.
