PANCREATIC LYMPHOMA, FAMILIAL

TEXT
James et al. (1998) described a brother and sister who presented in their sixties with high-grade B-cell lymphoma affecting the pancreas. Both responded well to chemotherapy and were in remission at the time of report. On further investigation it was found that their mother had presented with a malignant lymphoma of cervical nodes 30 years earlier and died from the disease. The authors found no reports of other cases of familial pancreatic lymphoma.
