Core Tip	Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare B-cell lymphoma. Although PBL is observed in the oral cavity of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients, it can also be observed at extra-oral sites in HIV-negative patients. We present a case of PBL of the liver in a 79-year-old HIV-negative male. Histopathological examination showed large-cell lymphoma with plasmacytic differentiation diffusely infiltrating the liver and involving the surrounding organs. The neoplastic cells were diffusely positive for CD30, Epstein-Barr virus, Bob-1, and CD38. The present case appears to be the first report of PBL with initial presentation in the liver in a patient without HIV infection.
