Abstract
Primary lymphoma of the pancreas is an extremely rare condition. There are no previous reports from northern Europe. It is important to diff erentiate pancreatic carcinoma from lymphoma because there is signific ant difference between the prognosis and treatment. We describe here a case of primary pancreatic lymphoma in a 64-year-old woman who was ad mitted to hospital because of a sudden abdominal pain and vomiting. Ul trasound, computed tomography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancr eatography findings are presented, and the features of pancreatic lymp homa in these imaging studies are discussed.
