Primary localizations are rare.To report a rare case of primary hepatic lymphoma particular by its association with dermatopolymyositis. A 55-year-old woman with a past medical history of dermatopolymyositis diagnosed one year before presented with abdominal pain and fever. Laboratory tests showed pancytopenia. Radiologic examination revealed multiple hepatic masses. Surgical biopsy revealed a large B cell hepatic lymphoma.

Primary hepatic lymphoma is a rare tumor with a bad prognosis. Its diagnosis is based on histologic examination. Treatment of these tumors remains non consensual
