Abstract
Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the pancreas is a rare disease. Its diagn osis is difficult without histological examination. In fact, clinical and i maging findings are not pathognomonic. Acute pancreatitis associated with p ancreatic lymphoma is extremely rare. We have found only 7 case reports in literature. We report herein a new case of pancreatic lymphoma which was re vealed by a severe pancreatitis.
