AIMS AND BACKGROUNDS: Primary pancreatic lymphoma is non-Hodgkin lymphoma primarily involving the pancreas, which is rare in pancreatic diseases. The aim of this work is to summarize the diagnostic and therapeutic experience of primary pancreatic lymphoma.
Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 7 cases of primary pancreatic lymphoma admitted to Huashan Hospital in the past 3 years. Available English literature was also reviewed using the following terms: primary pancreatic lymphoma and pancreatic lymphoma.
Results:
The literature review identified 157 additional cases, and a total of 164 cases had been analyzed. In this series, only 30% had a successful non-operative diagnosis. The curative rate of the surgery-adjuvant chemotherapy group was higher than that of the chemotherapy alone group.
Conclusions:
Obtaining specimens through surgery is an effective diagnostic tool. Surgical resection in combination with postoperative chemotherapy plays a therapeutic role.
