Abstract

Primary pancreatic lymphomas (PPLs) are rare cancers that have a complicated histological classification. Sufficient sample volumes are required to adequately diagnose and decide the best treatment for PPLs. A 54-year-old man with primary pancreatic mantle cell lymphoma is described in this case study. Percutaneous biopsy was used to extract histological samples. Atypical small to medium round cells predominated in the tumor cells, which had diffuse CD20 and cyclin D1 positivity. Chemotherapy was used on the patient, and he went into complete remission as a result. Because it provides adequate samples for testing, a percutaneous biopsy could be a valuable and safe diagnostic tool for PPLs.
