[|Human|] My son in law has had Lymphoma for years, but has been dealing successfully with it. Now , after a severe bout of stomach pain for several days, along with other symptom, i.e. severe tiredness, he has been told he has Pancreatitis.  Could this be related to the :latent Lymphoma?  The resident that has been handling his case has a strong foreign accent and Bill isnt understanding him very well.  The poor guy has been thru so much fighting the Lymphoma, and now this.  What do you think?Can the Lymphoma cancer metastasize into the pancrease?
[|AI|]  Hi! Welcome to Chat Doctor!YES, it can be pancreatitis or pancreatic lymphoma.primary pancreatic lymphoma is rare, representing less than 2% of extranodal lymphomas. While secondary lymphoma which is a possibility in your son-in-law is found in 30% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients with widespread disease - it is the result of direct extension from peripancreatic lymphadenopathy.Stand MRI will help in differentiating. I sincerely hope this will help you!
