Abstract:
Accurate diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is important to clinicians since it is difficult to differentiate AIP from pancreatic malignancies. Furthermore, unlike pancreatic malignancies, AIP has dramatic response to steroids. A 61-years-old man presented with acute pancreatitis. Imaging studies showed two separate pancreatic masses, irregular narrowing of main pancreatic duct, and a renal mass that highly suggested AIP. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy of the pancreatic masses and ultrasound-guided biopsy of the renal mass revealed peripheral T-cell lymphoma. The patient is currently undergoing chemotherapy. We present a case of pancreatic lymphoma masquerading as AIP with literature review.
