Abstract
Majority of malignant pancreatic neoplasms are epithelial in origin and mostly arise from exocrine gland. Ductal adenocarcinoma compromises the major histological type of such tumors. Primary non-epithelial tumors of exocrine pancreatic gland are extremely rare and incorporate lymphoma and sarcoma. Primary pancreatic lymphoma compromises less than 0.5% of pancreatic malignancies. Primary pancreatic lymphoma can be difficult to differentiate from pancreatic adenocarcinoma and other neoplasms on imaging, and a correct diagnosis is crucial for appropriate patient management.
