title: [An invasive process in the pancreas: sometimes lymphoma].
abstract: An invasive process in the pancreas was found in a 60-year-old woman and a 50-year-old man with abdominal symptoms. Generally, such findings turn out to be adenocarcinoma. However, these patients had lymphoma. Primary pancreatic lymphoma or localization of lymphoma in the pancreas are rare and chemotherapy may be curative. Therefore, obtaining tissue for histopathological confirmation of the diagnosis is very important. Both patients underwent chemotherapy. The first patient was in complete remission one month after the last chemotherapy cycle. In the second, the disease went into remission, but he suddenly died of sepsis after the fourth chemotherapy cycle.
