Primary pancreatic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in a renal transplant recipient

Primary pancreatic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is rare and accounts for less than 1% of all lymphomas. The development of NHL following transplant is well recognized. However, there are no previous reports on localized lymphomatous pancreatic involvement in a transplant patient. We report on the first case of primary pancreatic NHL developing in a renal transplant recipient. The patient was treated without reducing immunosuppression and received combination chemotherapy and radiation. The patient is in complete remission at 10-month follow-up.
