Abstract
|
|
|
It has been well known that pancreatic tumors occasionally show incidious symptoms resembling chronic pancreatitis as the first manifestation. However, only a few cases were reported about manifestation like acute pancreatitis, confined to
pancreatic
adenocarcinoma or metastatic carcinomas and there is no clear descriptive report about pancreatic lymphoma associated with acute pancreatitis. Lymphoma of the pancreases itself is a rare neoplasm comprising less than 0.16% of all pancreatic
malignancies. It is important to exclude other diseases in early clinical course in spite of it's difficulty in differential diagnosis because lymphoma is potentially curable with chemotherapy or radiation therapy We report a case of pancreatic
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting with acute pancreatitis as the first manifestation in 34-yearold women, In the case, lymphoma was suspected on the basis of clinical and radiological findings and, after histopathologic diagnosis obtained from
the
specimens of metastatic sites, we stanted chemotherapy(COPBLAM) as anccpirical trial. The response was as good as we expected.(Korean J Gastroenterol 1994 ; 26 : 758-763)
