An 82-year-old man was admitted to hospital with symptoms of abdominal fullness and loss of appetite. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan and ultrasonography showed enlargement of the whole pancreas with para-aortic lymphadenopathy. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP) showed diffuse narrowing of the main pancreatic duct (MPD), and brushing cytology from the MPD was non-neoplastic. Differential diagnosis between lymphoma and other exocrine and endocrine pancreatic malignancies was needed, and the level of serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor (17 751 U/ml) was revealed to be significantly high, which was strongly suggestive of pancreatic lymphoma. Chemotherapy was refused by the patient's family and the patient succumbed after 2 months of conservative follow-up. Autopsy revealed diffuse, mixed cell-type, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of T-cell subtype.
一名82岁男性因腹胀和食欲不振症状入院。腹部计算机断层扫描(CT)和超声检查显示整个胰腺肿大并伴有主动脉旁淋巴结病。内镜逆行胰胆管造影(ERP)显示主胰管(MPD)弥漫性狭窄,MPD刷检细胞学检查为非肿瘤性。需要对淋巴瘤与其他胰腺外分泌和内分泌恶性肿瘤进行鉴别诊断,结果显示血清可溶性白细胞介素-2受体水平显著升高(17 751 U/ml),强烈提示为胰腺淋巴瘤。患者家属拒绝化疗,患者在保守随访2个月后死亡。尸检显示为T细胞亚型的弥漫性、混合细胞型非霍奇金淋巴瘤。
