Acute pancreatitis is a rare initial presentation of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with few reported cases described in older adults and even fewer in children. MRI features of Burkitt lymphoma of the pancreas are sparse in the radiologic literature. We present a 6-year-old boy who presented with pancreatitis and obstructive jaundice, which was the result of Burkitt lymphoma of the pancreas. The imaging findings of pancreatic involvement of Burkitt lymphoma on MRI are discussed and the contributory role of the radiologist in guiding the appropriate clinical work-up of this disease is highlighted.
急性胰腺炎是一种罕见的非霍奇金淋巴瘤首发表现，在老年人中已有少数病例报道，在儿童中则更为罕见。胰腺伯基特淋巴瘤的 MRI 特征在影像学文献中较为少见。我们报告了一例 6 岁男孩，因胰腺炎和阻塞性黄疸就诊，其原因为胰腺伯基特淋巴瘤。本文讨论了 MRI 上伯基特淋巴瘤胰腺受累的影像学表现，并强调了放射科医生在指导该病的适当临床评估中的作用。
