A 51-yr-old man, who presented with diabetes mellitus, abdominal pain, inguinal lymphadenopathy, and diffuse enlargement of the whole pancreas on pancreas on ultra-sonography, was at first thought to have pancreatic lymphoma. Chemotherapy including steroid was carried out successfully, although the definitive diagnosis of lymphoma was not made. However, on follow-up, we realized that both laboratory findings, such as hyper-globulinemia and autoantibody-positive results, and radiographic features in this case were very similar to those of a case of autoinmiune pancreatitis recently reported by Yoshida et al. (Dig Dis Sci 1995:40:1561-8). When the disease recurred, therefore, treatment with steroid alone was performed with an excellent result. We report a case of autoimmune pancreatitis simulating primary pancreatic lymphoma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
