Abstract

Primary pancreatic lymphoma is extremely rare and usually consists of a bulky tumor without internal necrosis and severe dilatation of the pancreatic duct. We report the unusual CT and MRI findings of a primary pancreatic lymphoma in a 27-years-old man, associated with severe dilatation of the pancreatic duct, common bile duct, and internal necrosis.

췌장의 원발림프암은 매우 드물어 특징적인 영상소견은 잘 알려져 있지 않으나 췌관선암종과는 달리 췌관의 확장이 드물고 종괴 내부에 괴사를 잘 동반하지 않는다고 알려져 있다. 우리는 심한 췌관 및 총담관의 확장과 종괴 내 괴사를 동반하였던 27세 남자의 원발췌장림프암의 전산화단층촬영(CT) 및 자기공명영상(MR)소견을 보고하고자 한다.
