Abstract

Primary lymphoma of the pancreas is a rare cause of obstructive jaundice. Unlike most pancreatic malignancies, survival is much better with aggressively treated lymphoma.

When confronted with an apparent aggressive pancreatic mass on imaging studies, surgeons must remember this diagnosis, as it carries real hope for the patient.
