ACG Case Rep J. 2024 Nov 15;11(11):e01550. doi: 10.14309/crj.0000000000001550. eCollection 2024 Nov.

Abstract

Periampullary malignancies are uncommon and encompass a wide variety of tumors. Early and accurate biopsy-proven diagnosis is important because different malignancy subtypes warrant different management and treatment plans. We present a unique and rare case of periampullary lymphoma, initially presenting as acute pancreatitis.

Keywords: acute pancreatitis; ampullary tumors; diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; periampullary lymphoma; tumor resection.
