Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is an uncommon hematological malignancy that primarily occurs in young adults and less frequently in elderly individuals. HL has characteristics cells derived from B lymphocytes (known Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells). Primary hepatic Hodgkin disease is very rare presentation accounting for less than 0.4% of the cases.
