Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) has many subtypes, with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma being the most common subtype. Typical symptoms of NHL include fever, weight loss, night sweats, and lymphadenopathy. Treatment depends on the subtype of NHL. Our case presents the clinical course of a patient who presented with obstructive jaundice and pancreatitis rather than typical symptoms of NHL. Workup included abdominal imaging showing a pancreatic mass and biopsy ultimately revealed high-grade B-cell lymphoma. This case presents a rare diagnosis of likely primary pancreatic lymphoma.
非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)有许多亚型,其中弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤是最常见的亚型。NHL的典型症状包括发热、体重减轻、盗汗和淋巴结病。治疗取决于NHL的亚型。我们的病例展示了一名患者的临床病程,该患者表现为梗阻性黄疸和胰腺炎,而非NHL的典型症状。检查包括腹部影像学检查显示胰腺肿块,活检最终确诊为高级别B细胞淋巴瘤。该病例呈现了一例罕见的可能为原发性胰腺淋巴瘤的诊断。
