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.
