[A case of pancreatic malignant lymphoma diagnosed by EUS-FNA].
A 57-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of obstructive jaundice. Abdominal computed tomography and ultrasonography showed a homogeneous mass 7cm in diameter at the head of the pancreas. Gamma-scintigraphy showed uptake in the head of the pancreas. Histological diagnosis was obtained by endoscopic ultrasoundscopy-fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). The pathological and immunohistochemical studies showed diffuse lymphoma with large B-cells. We experienced a rare case of pancreatic malignant lymphoma and EUS-FNA was usefull in the diagnosis.
