Linfoma pancreático primario diagnosticado mediante punción aspiración con aguja guiada por ultrasonografía endoscópica / Primary pancreatic lymphoma diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy

Aunque el linfoma pancreático primario (LPP) es un tumor maligno infrecuente, el diagnóstico correcto es fundamental ya que su manejo terapéutico difiere del de otros tumores pancreáticos. La punción aspiración con aguja fina guiada por ultrasonografía endoscópica (USE-PAAF) es actualmente la técnica de elección para el diagnóstico de neoplasias de páncreas, resultando de especial utilidad en aquellas lesiones de características o presentación atípica. Sin embargo, la utilidad de la USE-PAAF en el LPP ha sido poco estudiada debido a la rareza de esta entidad. Se presenta un caso de un paciente con infección VIH y LPP diagnosticado mediante USE-PAAF (AU)

Although primary pancreatic lymphoma (PPL) is a rare malignant tumor, the correct diagnosis is essential since their therapeutic management differs from other pancreatic tumors. The fine needle aspiration cytology guided by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS-FNA) is currently the preferred technique for the diagnosis of neoplasms of the pancreas, being of particular interest in those pancreatic lesions with atypical characteristics or presentation. However, the usefulness of EUS-FNA in the PPL has been poorly studied because of the rarity of this entity. We report a case of a patient with HIV infection and PPL diagnosed by EUS-FNA (AU)
