- Abstract
The article focuses on the diagnosis to a 72-year-old woman with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). It says that the patient had a tender hepatomegaly but no lymphadenopathy or splenomegaly was seen. It states that she was treated with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisolone, and rituximab (CHO-R) and showed no evidence of CLL after a year of therapy. Moreover, images on the condition of her liver using computed tomography (CT) scan and needle biopsy are also presented
