Grave colestasi di origine paraneoplastica in donna ultraottantenne con linfoma B-cellulare anaplastico misconosciuto [Severe paraneoplastic cholestasis in a octogenarian woman with unrecognized anaplastic B-cell lymphoma]

Abstract

We describe a rare case of paraneoplastic jaundice in a octogenarian woman admitted to hospital because of fever jaundice and lethargy. Laboratory analysis showed increased indices of cholestasis and inflammation without evidence of infection. Imaging documented multiple mesenteric lymphadenomegalies, identified at autopsy as anaplastic B-cell lymphoma, not involving liver or biliary tract
