ABSTRACT
Acute pancreatitis is a common gastroenterological condition that can occur due to several causes. While not required for diagnosis, imaging is often performed and may reveal unexpected findings such as pancreatic masses. Malignancies such as lymphoma are uncommon causes of acute pancreatitis, especially as the initial presentation of malignancy. We present a case of a young patient with acute pancreatitis caused by diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with extranodal disease secondarily involving the pancreas. Our case highlights the importance of keeping a broad differential for acute pancreatitis and considering rare etiologies such as pancreatic lymphoma in patients without another obvious culprit.
