Clin Case Rep. 2020 Dec 4;9(2):669-672. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.3605. eCollection 2021 Feb.

Abstract

Although primary pancreatic lymphoma is a rare cause of pancreatic mass, this diagnosis should be considered during work-up. Furthermore, when adequate diagnostic material is available from biopsy, complete workup of the lymphoma, including not only type but also subtype when applicable, should be performed.
