Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma with Secondary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Presenting as Acute Liver Failure

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and newly diagnosed malignant infiltration of liver are rare presentations of acute liver failure associated with poor prognosis. We report a case of a patient with acute liver failure caused by malignant infiltration by diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and secondary HLH.
