Abstract
We report the case of a 58-yr-old woman, previously diagnosed with Crohn's disease of the duodenum, who presented with jaundice and an epigastric mass. Diagnostic studies revealed an extraintestinal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma located near the head of the pancreas and causing obstructive jaundice. A review of the literature indicates the rarity of this association. We discuss the etiology, pathogenesis, and management of extraintestinal lymphomas in patients with Crohn's disease.
