Lymphoma-associated pancreatitis as a presenting manifestation of immunoblastic lymphoma.
A 55 year old man presented with clinical signs and symptoms of subacute pancreatitis of unknown aetiology. Two weeks later, inguinal lymphadenopathy developed and a lymph node biopsy revealed a B cell immunoblastic lymphoma. ⋯ We consider this patient to have had lymphoma associated pancreatitis. This case represents a rare clinical presentation of lymphoma suggesting an alternative aetiology of subacute pancreatitis in some cases.
