Primary pancreatic lymphomas are extremely rare, when present mimics symptoms of adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head. They account for less than 1% of pancreatic neoplasms [2]. The most common histological subtype is diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) [3]. Herein, we present a case of a 47 year old female who presented with symptoms of pain abdomen and weight loss. CT (Computerized Tomography) was suggestive of a lesion in the pancreatic head which on histopathology was diagnosed as a primary non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma confirmed by immunohistochemistry.
