โฆ Synopsis
B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL) is a well-documented complication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Marginal zone (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue; MALT) lymphomas constitute a less common type of B-NHL. In this article, we report a case of liver MALT in a cirrhotic patient, incidentally discovered after liver transplantation (LT). We discuss pertinent diagnostic and management strategies in this clinical setting.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been suggested to play an etiological role in the development of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in Italy. However, another study in Scotland questioned increased risk of development of NHL in patients with chronic HCV infection. A total of 2,162 patients admitted to
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is both hepatotropic and lymphotropic and has been shown to be associated with the benign lymphoproliferative disorder, mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC). Preliminary studies suggest that there may be an association between chronic hepatitis C, MC, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).
## Abstract This study assessed the association of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with nonโHodgkin's lymphoma in a highly HBVโendemic area. The prevalence of either HBV or HCV infection in 235 patients with nonโHodgkin's lymphoma was compared with that of an ageโ and
## Abstract Although occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (HBVโDNA in serum in the absence of hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]) is common in chronic hepatitis C, its characteristics are not well known. In this work, the presence of HBVโDNA (by polymerase chain reaction; PCR) and its distribu
## Abstract ## Objective The association of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with type II mixed cryoglobulinemia is well established, but the role of HCV in B cell lymphoma remains controversial. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of circulating and liverโinfiltrating mono
